We hear a
variety of different voices on the Middle East today. As UNICEF warned that
clean water is the #1 priority for civilians in south Lebanon, Jewish activists
in several U.S. cities were staging die-ins to protest Israeli military
aggression. That's all in the news section, along with a
Katrina reconstruction report from Oxfam, which has been on the Gulf Coast for
the past 12 months, and new calls for international protection in
Darfur.
In the features section, Palestinian
bloggers remind us of the issues they're facing everyday as the world's
attention is focused to their north, and an American intern walks the streets of
Lagos wondering which child vendors were trafficked. Plus, in analysis, a pair of economists look at U.S. welfare
"reform" 10 years on, and a much anticipated U.S. aid program runs into transparency problems from the get-go.
