Disturbing

I always check out "Yahoo's Most Emailed Photos" but this morning there is a very disturbing picture among the twenty that are on the first page. It bears this caption: A relative looks at the bodies of Shahd Okal, 8 months, right, and her sister Maria, 5, at the morgue of Kamal Edwan hospital in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, Wednesday, July 26, 2006. Shahd and Maria where killed when an Israeli artillery shell landed on their house, Palestinian hospital officials said. (AP Photo/Adel Hana) The picture shows no "relative" but does show two dead children on a slab. That can't possibly be the photo that was intended to be posted by Yahoo.
