Nahr el Bared catastophe continues

As of yesterday, the Lebanese army entered Nahr el Bared camp, breaking a political agreement of 38 years between the Lebanese and Palestinian authorities barring the army from entering any of the refugee camps.

The situation in Nahr el Bared is catastrophic. Many journalists have left the area because of the danger of being caught in crossfire. The media that is still reporting from there are making no mention of any civilian casualties among the Nahr el Bared residents, and the army is claiming that it is being very careful in targeting only Fath el Islam.

However, pictures have started leaking from Nahr el Bared depicting the most horrific and graphic images of civilians shot, bombed, and maimed. Sources from inside and around the camp maintain that the civilian toll is extremely high.
