Muslim Hands for the Needy in Lebanon and Gaza

There are two huge humanitarian crises looming in Lebanon and Gaza. The fact that the current conflict has seen more children than soldiers killed in Lebanon shows the true horror of this war and the blatant disregard for civilian life. The number of dead, injured and homeless in that country continues to rise daily with no prospect of a lasting peace in sight. Meanwhile, Israeli offensives continue apace in Gaza with daily civilian deaths and human suffering on an unimaginable scale, all barely reported by the media as events in Lebanon dominate.

"[Israeli attacks are] a violation of humanitarian law… it's horrific… I did not know it was block after block of houses… it's bigger, more extensive than even I could imagine."

Jan Egeland (UN Relief Coordinator)
