Mrs Suzanne Mubarak, wife of President Hosni Mubarak, said that what happens in Lebanon is a continuous tragedy and shocks the human conscience, this came in her speech before the conference of Egyptian women's solidarity for saving Lebanon and supporting women and children in the crisis.

Mrs Mubarak called for exerting all human efforts to assist Lebanon and support Palestinians in their suffering. She appealed to the world and all humanitarian and peace organizations to do all they could to help Lebanon out of its ordeal and called for an immediate ceasefire for the sake of victims, children and hundreds of thousands of homeless evacuees.

"I appeal to you to exert all possible human efforts for supporting and assisting the Lebanese peoples at a time in which we support the Palestinian people who face an endless suffering. She stressed that war in Lebanon puts the world conscience in face of its normal responsibility. "Would the human conscience accept the killing and wounding of thousands of people including women and children and the displacement of thousands who fled their homes and villages to seek refuge in safer shelters," she said.

Mrs Mubarak appealed to all peace powers and relief agencies to work for ending this humanitarian tragedy and exerting all possible efforts to alleviate suffering of victims and homeless as well as providing safe corridors in Lebanon to guarantee the arrival of the necessary humanitarian aid to the affected people.

She also pressed for reaching a humanitarian truce and a ceasefire to meet the consequences and tackle the current humanitarian situation in Lebanon.
