La comunidad internacional debe atender esta catástrofe humanitaria causada por los ataques de Israel sobre Líbano, más allá de las tensiones políticas, debe prevalecer la seguridad de la ciudadanía. Gran trabajo de organismos y agencias de UN ONU para no dejar de señalar estas situaciones humanitarias. Hay que nombrar a los afectados.
