96. They were miles away from the fighting, traveled all day for hours,
to get out of the fire-zone; where is your skepticism? There were media there following the exodus, filming the convoy as it reached villages to the north, with locals lining the streets with food and water for the children and exhausted elderly...these people have been under siege for weeks, with no aid able to reach them, completely cut off. They were being led North by their own army, Lebanese soldiers, with the understanding that their safe-passage was guaranteed thru a U.N. pact with the IDF.

It's hard to understand the lack of compassion some have.
