これまでレバノンで死んだと確認された615人のうち、「セイブ・ザ・チルドレン」(NGO)によれば、ほぼ半数が子どもたちだ。
こう切り出したインディペンデント電子版8月4日付は、レバノンの子どもたちへの援助を呼びかける。
ユニセフによると、3,225人の負傷者の3分の1を子どもたちが占め、また、ほぼ100万人のレバノン難民のうちおよそ45%が18才未満なのだ。
しかし、苦しみが表す衝撃的なイメージと悲惨な報告にもかかわらず、紛争に巻き込まれた子どもたちのために寄せられるお金は深刻なまでに不足している。
子どもたちは今援助を必要としている。
暴力が拡大し続けるため絶望的なまでに必要な、緊急の食料、医療、それに衣類を求めて、インディペンデント紙と「セイブ・ザ・チルドレン」は、レバノンの子どもたちのためのアピールを発している。
「セイブ・ザ・チルドレン」は1ポンドきっかりで1家族のためのローソクとマッチを買えると強調する。
10ポンドあれば子ども1人に十分な衛生品を提供するのに役立ち、50ポンドで短期間なら1家族分の食費を賄える。
しかし国際機関によれば、資金を求める訴えへの一般の反応は驚くほどゆっくりとしたものだったと言う。

The Independent Appeal: Help save Lebanon's children(The Independent)
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article1211692.ece
Published: 03 August 2006
Of the 615 people so far confirmed dead in Lebanon, Save The Children says that almost half are children. They make up one third of the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18, according to Unicef.
But despite the shocking images and the harrowing accounts of suffering, there is an acute shortfall of money raised for the children caught up in the conflict. They need help now.
The Independent and Save the Children are launching an appeal for the children of Lebanon, for urgent food, medicine and clothing desperately needed as the violence continues to escalate.
Save the Children stresses that just £1 will buy candles and matches for a family; £10 will help provide adequate hygiene for a child and £50 will pay for food for a family in the short term. But international agencies say the public response has been surprisingly slow to appeals for funds.
