A few bytes from around the Web today:
Emergency relief aid should start reaching Lebanon soon.France mobilized Friday to send urgent aid to Lebanon, the Red Cross managed to get relief supplies to the south — and Israel agreed to allow a safe corridor crucial to ensuring that food and medicine reaches those in need.We can only hope.
