The Birmingham-based charity Islamic Relief is trying to raise £4m for the displaced in Lebanon. The charity plans to concentrate on providing food and medicines to those who have been affected by the conflict.

Nine days of violence has claimed the lives of 300 people in Lebanon and 29 in Israel that started after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers, the BBC reports. The Lebanese prime minister Fouad Siniora said 500,000 people had been displaced in the attacks.
