It might help - please try

[figment]

The fuel in Lebanon is running out and American University of Beirut Medical Center has only enough reserves to last a week. Seeing that electricity is barely available, soon the elderly, new-born, injured and sick - including the St Judes Cancer Children Center - will be in total darkness because of the Israeli blockade on Lebanon.

No electricity means no more life support, no more medical machines, no more ER, no more hospital communication and no more health system in Lebanon's biggest hospital. It is everyone's duty to help by simply clicking on the link below (and posting a message on the ABC News blog site) so that ABC Television can feel the story has enough interest in order to do a news report on it. This news report would in turn be seen by millions around the world which would hopefully allow for fuel to be brought into Lebanon solely for the hospitals. The more "clicks" and message postings the article gets on ABC's website, the more leverage it gives to get the story on TV.

Also, it is as important that this message is passed on to all your contacts so that the word can be spread like wildfire.

The sick in Lebanon need your help now, PLEASE...

ETA: Possibly, fuel is on the way. But this still seems worth attention - keep the pressure on and interest up until the crisis is resolved.

Is that related to this report (http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L02639016.htm) that Israel and the UN are coordinating on getting fuel tankers in?

It is possible! That does sound hopeful. On the other hand, continued pressure to make getting fuel to this hospital (and other hospitals) a priority can't hurt, and might help the fuel to actually get there soon.

Wow! There are already 410 comments posted on this artical. I wonder what the average number of comments on an artical is?

Which reminds me...where's your brother?

In Cyprus, with our parents. Thankfully, he happened to be there for a wedding when the bombing started. He is safe. It seems likely that he will never see his stuff again, which sucks royally. More at tomscud, if you wish.
