If this story is not newsworthy, then what is? It's mind boggling that ABC does not acknowledge the urgency of this situation.

Where oh where have the good reporters gone? I no longer have faith in the US media that is run by a few and that reports what they are told. We need good journalism in this country not a puppet show.

I guess the Mel Gibson story is more newsworthy that the suffering of the Lebanese people! You really have your priorities screwed up(excuse my language)!

Humanity !!!!!?

Dear Friend,

I'm a lebanese citizen from Beirut, and for the last 3 weeks I've been watching our country burning and our children dying. How long would it take the world to react to our cause ? shall we all die to hear from you ? Would you have a snap at our hospitals ? Please help us to stay alive. Thank you, and hope to hear from you soon.

What if the hospital situation in USA or Germany or France or..... is similar to the one in Lebanon.

Will someone care!!!

We totally appreacite the sympathy from all nations, but we need them to be more active to humanitarian issues than nice words and words and words and speeches and speeches and speeches ONLY.

Please air your story on prime time. By airing the story, you will give the international community the opportunity to help you stop this insanity against the weak, the sick and the innocent. Surely in this day in age, fuel can be rendered to the hospital for its designated purpose. Killing people in their vulnerable moments is not self defense for Israel. It is a scar on the face of our collective humanity.

Through the Power of the Media, you can avert the disater and human suffering that will follow if oil supplies are not immediatley allowed through the blockade

Please do everything you can to get this story aired! How much suffering must they sustain before the media begins airing what the airstrikes are doing to the people!

People are dying day after day and the whole international community is standing helpless watching our country being destroyed.Please do a move to help bring fuel so life can go on...I would like to ask Mr.Bush if his country is exposed to this war how will he feel??? Please Please Please help us!

Innocent lives are wasted by the dozen every day. The hospitals are the only thing keeping the wounded alive. You want more blood on your hands? Let some fuel through so the hospitals can have electricity to care for the wounded!!!

Given the fascination with "human interest" stories on the news these days I guess the Lebanese are not worthy of that level of interest!!!
What is going on at AUH hospital is only a small window into the huge humanitarian crisis that is occuring in Lebanon but I guess the suffering of millions of people is not news worthy!!!!

people in lebanon are humans, if it sliped some unhuman minds. it is a crime against humanity to deprive them the right to live and enjoy life.shame on this world

Is ABC actually thinking of not airing this?!? Wow! let's wait until hundred thousands of people die, because 900 people dead in 3 weeks is apparently not an impressive number.

ABC Tell the story—if not you're part of the problem

Give compassion for the innocent!

What is worth airing if this, perhaps unprecedented inhumanity, is not?

Airing this might save human lives..might alleviate (at least to some small extent) human suffering.....

WHAT IS WORTH AIRING IF THIS IS NOT?

ABC, this is a piece of news that is urgent and life-saving. And it is at the core of media responsibility that such a story is told.

It is stunning to me that a oil shortage would be permitted in this circumstance when the situation was never this dire in the civil war. Preventing a people from healing their wounded is certainly a violation of humanitarian law! From a practical point of view, even, if Hesbollah were to take fuel from such a well known hospital it would put a significant damper on it's support amongst the Lebanese people.

Simply: No blockade against civilians is acceptable, this is a shame.

ABC-Please pay a great deal of special attention to this story. We are not just talking about innnocent civilians that are being injured/killed by Israel, we are talking about those who are now being denied rights that every human deserves. If it is oil that hospitals need to run, give it to them. There are safe routes in/out of Lebanon, and the UN (aka the US) know where they are. The reason behind their neglect to act is quite blatantly obvious, even in light of the Israeli attack on the UN compound.

Please help the Lebanonese people and the hospital with the needed fuel to save lives.

I am a British-Lebanese national living in London. Spending time in the US, as I did 10 days ago in Chicago, is always a depressing affair, given the very clear "bubble" one feels he has suddenly entered. The news is so stunningly skewed towards Israel's "plight" it leaves little room for balanaced reflection. The US's TV networks, including ABC, should feel partly to blame for the woes of the region; they shape the public opinion of the one nation with the power to mend or break lives. I, and so many Arabs and non-Arabs alike, wish the US media would wake from its long, long Israeli stupor. Look into yourselves and question the nature and methods of the Israeli state. It is a deeply flawed nation surrounded by equally flawed but easier media targets. It is high time the unconditional support for that unaccountable nation came under long, hard scrutiny.

Does the situation seem as obvious to everyone else too? THE USA MUST STOP THIS MADNESS, AND CAN DO DO WITH 1 WORD. Based on living in Lebanon this past summer, I observed that most Lebanese don't care about Hezbollah and simply care about living their laizze-faire and modern lifestyle in their beautiful country. They and their beloved country are getting punished for no reason. I pray to god that Israel gets severely punished for its acts of terror and war crimes they are commiting on the innocent Lebanese people. America is my country and I love it, however I DESPISE and hate their international politics. Why does everyone one in the world feel different, EXCEPT for the USA. People, open your eyes and spread awareness. This is a HOSPITAL here in a war torn country that can't survive because of America's little terrorist ally country being able to do whatever they want despite international outrage. AIR THIS STORY!

Please revisit this humanitarian crisis. This teaching hospital is one of the bright spots in the most Western-looking city in the ME. Craig Taylor, AUB '63

i'v seen on discovery the story of a lioness that adopted a baby orphan dear,i couldnt believe my eyes. but now i realized that the
beasts have more compation & simpathy than humans do. i hope that the isreali goverment can realize that & allow for fuel to come into lebanon at least for hospitals.innocent & only innocent
ones are paying for this war, we hope cease fire is very soon.

It is crucial that we as Americans see this story aired on prime time. Our government is fully supporting and participating in this war on Lebanon and yet the citizens know so little. It is the American people that are going to pay the price for the countries foreign policy and so we should be fully aware. It would take a stone cold heart to turn away from this story.

Human life is worthless, or that is what we are lead to believe!
We must stop this madness immediatley! If members of the media in the US do not report the extnet of the suffering of the lebanese people then they are partners and supporters of this hideous crime.

ABC, you have a duty to create awareness of this urgent situation in Beirut. Please air this on primetime television so that Americans can see that Israel's actions are completely inhumane!

As you all see, we are suffering here, our children are the only target, and no one is listening to their suffer, so please, Help is urgently needed and we must do everything we can to avoid a humanitarian crisis. so abc don't stand without any efficient task we need u.

Please show the devestation that is happening in Lebanon! Help is desperately needed in that country!

The human cost of delaying negotiations and prevarication must be highlighted. The British Government, Margaret Beckett and Tony Blair should ask for a ceasefire immediately to allow negotiations to happen without daily atrocities undermining them

AUB and its Hospital represents the last thread of goodwill the US has left with the people of Lebanon following the bombing of its infrastructure and civilian areas. It is a VITAL interest of the US to preserve this resource for political as well as humanitarian reasons. This crisis exists because of Israeli intransigence, a stance our government evidently accepts. What have we come to? Please, everybody, push for the story to get out everywhere and force our government to do what is so obviously the right thing, as well as in our VITAL national interest.

PLEASE HELP

This is truely a very strange action not to send those fuel tanks..lebanon is on war for political issues but why should babies die? another political issue?? the world shouldn't stay still cuz if we kept silent..one day it will be us lying needing help..just cuz somebody liked to have war! a butcher!

This is a crucial issue-hospitals, innocent civilians, sick people and babies should not be the one paying the price. Please air this important report on Primetime, everyone's help is needed here.
