A bombing this weekend at a refugee shelter in Qana left 60 people, most of them children, dead. International news reports offer other perspectives on the tragedy.
This video contains three segments telling the story in Qana, from the search for survivors through Isreal's 48-hour partial ceasefire in Southern Lebanon.
The first video is provided by London's Channel Four news. This report shows emergency workers scrambling to deal with the crisis. Men carefully dig through solid dirt, looking for the dead, but hoping to find signs of life in the rubble. Channel Four interviews some of the few lucky survivors. One woman explains that all the other members of her large family died in the bombings.
While emergency workers continued to dig for bodies in Qana, CBS International News showed a spontaneous protest erupt in Beirut. People who, for the last weeks, had hidden in bomb shelters emerged enraged by the incident. A peaceful protest, in front of Beirut's UN Compound, turns violent.
BBC News then covers Israel's declaration of a temporary 48 hour ceasefire to investigate the massacre in Qana. Secretary Rice leaves the Middle East, announcing that she will be taking a proposal for a permanent ceasefire back to the UN Security Coucil. International pressure begins to split Israel politicians on ending the war.
