Talk:Lebanon faces humanitarian crisis

This... http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/285B14DF-5EE4-4733-ACB4-F2EE55F3E0BA.htm may be extremely newsworthy - but it needs additional sources to be verified, because aljazeera reports from a muslim-POV. --82.141.54.242 16:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

- Are you suggesting that Muslim point of view means you can tell lies witout backing them up with citable facts?

I guess a better wording for this could be: "This is from a news agency XXXXXX. Please check citations and references carefully, because this news agency is not reputable." or something like that.

Anyhow, I checked your link at AlJazeerra.net and it referred to AFP (Associated French Press).

I checked AFP's newest news from this conflict:

By the way, does anyone know any weblogs from Lebanon that could tell first hand experiences? Is there any working Internet connection over there still? It seems like a lot of places might have trouble even getting water, electricity, medical treatment, medicines, and food.

I found following blogs from Lebanese: 

These blogs are NOT from Lebanese, I guess, but still talk this issue from a fresh point of view:   

About self censorship of the media covering this issue: 

Then again, can anyone find blogs from Israeli side? How much they have suffered from the rocket attacks?

This could be perhaps Israeli point of view blog:

 * Choose your words carefully and stay civil.


 * Mr. Egeland appealed for both sides to put a halt to attacks and that "Hezbollah must stop this cowardly blending ... among women and children."


 * The article selectively quotes Mr. Engeland. This quote gives NPOV to the article as Mr. Engeland places responsibility of the humanitarian crisis both on Hezbollah and Israel. Ealturner 22:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
