Katrinaville's in Lebanon, now? UN Official say 950 women & children in
one school with only 6 Toilets. He said the situation in Lebanon is a disaster and growing worse each day. Said he's trying to work with Israel so that relief trucks can get clearance to get through without being bombed but needs to be coordinated with Israel intelligence for the times and days so that the trucks are safe. He said too many children are being killed and it's got to stop on both sides.

BTW, the UN Facility that was bombed has been in the same place in Lebanon since 1948! ...he says that he is not aware of any fire coming from Hezbollah near the facility before it was bombed that would have caused them to be a target. UN is investigating it.

CNN's Blitzr interviewed him just now.

1. Hey...950 women and children stuck in school with 6 toilets?
How many other schools and shelters have a thousand or more and less facilities than the "SuperDome" in NO's had?

:shrug: Little kids and women do need different facilities than men..if one is used to "indoor plumbing."
