In pictures: Trauma unabated

The human cost of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has continued to mount on both sides of the border.

A mass grave was dug in the Lebanese port city of Tyre as more than 30 victims of the conflict were buried in simple plywood coffins.

Few mourners were at the burial, but the sense of grief was overwhelming.

The dead included a one-day old baby. His mother also died.

Thousands of Lebanese have fled into temporary accommodation - some clearly struggling to adjust to their new surroundings.

Elsewhere, a fuel tank was hit in what Lebanon says is the biggest environmental disaster the Mediterranean region has known.

Some Israeli soldiers who have been engaged in the fighting were relieved to return home.

Among them was a paratrooper who was injured in the fierce clashes on the border area.

As some aid arrived by sea, Israel dismissed UN calls for a temporary truce to allow more help to reach the displaced.

But many in the Arab world dismiss the aid offers - they want an immediate ceasefire, including these Palestinians in the West Bank.
