Fields of Fire
After Hezbollah soldiers kidnapped two Israeli soldiers, the responding aerial bombardment left villages in ruins. 30% of the bombs dropped over southern Lebanon failed to detonate. "When she dropped it, it exploded", says a 10 year old boy. A girl he was playing with found an unexploded cluster bomb. "My intestines fell out and landed in my hands. I started running, shouting "God is Great". My intestines deflated and I lost my hearing." Miraculously surviving to tell the tale, he spends his time warning other children of the dangers the small bombs pose. Others were not so lucky. A mother can barely bring herself to describe the day she lost both her son and his uncle to roadside cluster bombs: "I remember his cute chubby legs..." she weeps, "That's all I can say". Despite the danger, farmers are reluctant to leave the land that supports their families - choosing to clear the bombs at their own risk. The war's collateral continues to grow at the cost of these civilians.
