Children continue to pay a heavy price in the attack on Lebanon, forced to take refuge in schools, mosques and shelters around the country.

• UNICEF Directory for Emergency Programs Daniel Toole: “We estimate that at least thirty percent of the casualties of those dead, are children. That is a very high level. We estimate that probably 45 percent of the displaced are children because there are so many people on the move. That’s a very very high number and it means that we have much higher rates of dependency of assistance in this beginning period.”
