Liberal Democrat Councillor condemns violence in the Middle East
Local Liberal Democrat Councillor, Karimeh Foster, has written to the Foreign Secretary condemning the violence in the Middle East and calling for greater action on the part of this country. Cllr. Foster said, " I wrote this letter before the violence in Lebanon erupted, but it is even more important now that the UK government calls for an immediate cease fire. Hundreds of civilians are being killed because the Israeli government has over-reacted. The Israelis have asked people from Southern Lebanon to leave, but then they bomb and fire at them as they leave, destroy the roads and bridges so they cannot leave and have attacked 3 hospitals so that that even the injured are not safe. Many civilians lie dead under the collapsed apartment blocks"
