The numbers of dead increase

The US negotiators have been sent back from Jerusalem being told it's too early to begin discussions for a ceasefire. Too early to stop people being killed?
When Lebanon is on its knees - "when the clock is put back 20 years in Lebanon" in the words of one of the Israeli ministers on Radio 4 this week - will they stop.

The Security Council can't agree on a way forward.

A local radio station today led with the headline: "The ordeal is over in Lebanon". Good news? Only for those foreigners who have been evacuated. The ordeal is certainly not over for the millions left behid.

Lebanse toll so far: At least 270 Lebanese - mostly civilians - have died in the conflict.
Israeli toll so far: Twenty-five Israelis have died, including 13 civilians killed by Hezbollah rocket attacks
