Excerpt from On a mission of mercy with Lebanon Red Cross (MSNBC.com):
Picking up the wounded
Once we finally reached Tyre, the volunteers immediately began picking up patients. Perhaps the most heart-breaking to see was Smath Said Shahd, a 9-year-old girl who was hit by some munitions while she and her 7-year-old sister were out playing.
Shahd was hit in the chest and abdomen, as well as having some serious damage to her small intestine and her throat. As the Red Cross medics were taking her away, her family kept saying, “Does she look like a soldier? She’s not a soldier. She is just a small child. Why would she be targeted? Why would she be hit?”
