BINT JBEIL, LEBANON: An elderly woman is carried through the rubble of what was once a street in Bint Jbeil, Lebanon, by Hassan Ammar (a photographer). There were too few Red Cross workers to bring the elderly out, so many journalists stepped in to help. During weeks of heavy fighting, many elderly were unable to leave their homes. On the first day of a temporary cease-fire, many surfaced from their hiding places in hopes of being rescued.
