Red Cross asks for $81 million for Lebanon
By: Nabil Raza
GENEVA: The international Red Cross appealed
Friday for $81 million to help Lebanon.
Life is becoming "unbearably dangerous" for civilians who have
been trapped by the violence, the International Committee of
the Red Cross said.
Resources and access to water and basic services are also very
limited, the ICRC said in a statement, while medical
evacuations and aid operations are very difficult and cannot
meet the population's needs.
The ICRC's top priority in southern Lebanon is
ensuring the safety of civilians and securing safe access for
those engaged in medical and other humanitarian activities,
Kraehenbuehl said reporters at the organization's Geneva
headquarters.
The funds from the appeal will help expand Red Cross food,
clean water and health programs and facilities for some
650,000 people, as well as up to 5,000 wounded.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
