In pictures: Getting aid to Lebanon

Relief organisations like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are having to negotiate bomb-damaged roads to bring aid to the south of Lebanon.

Some of the people needing aid are also in mourning for family members who have died in the Israeli attacks.

Hospitals are treating many children caught up in the violence, like this girl who was playing in front of her house in Tyre when a bomb fell.

As well as bringing in aid, International Red Cross members have helped direct families trying to flee the fighting.

The Lebanese government says a million people have been displaced by the crisis, many of them now camped out in schools and other public buildings.

Other people, like this couple in Beirut, are having to live in the open because there is no room for them anywhere.

Red Cross ambulances have themselves been caught up in the violence - in this incident one patient lost a leg.
