In a televised appeal to the international community, Fouad Siniora said that more than 300 people had been killed and 1,000 wounded in the eight-day-old Israeli assault. More than 500,000 Lebanese had been displaced, he said.
"Is the value of human life in Lebanon less than that of the citizens of other countries?" he asked. "Can the international community stand by while such callous retribution by the state of Israel is inflicted on us?"
