It was a scene that caused
United Nations' peacekeepers and rescue officials to weep. [man on TV] It's reported
that two Israeli shells out of a salvo
of as many as five, impacted inside the base, some six miles
south-east of Tyre, cutting down at least
200 Lebanese civilians. In the words
of the United Nations on the ground,
"It was a massacre." [Peter] The impact
of Margaret's footages cannot be understated. There could be no mistaking,
but these were civilians. [man on TV]
Amid the human debris were the bodies of women,
children, and at least one baby. [melancholic music playing] [Peter] The shock
of that kind of image just overrides any kind of possible excuse
or justification, by those who ultimately
were responsible. [indistinct wailing, crying]
