Beirut- Prosthetic limb-fitting centers in southern Lebanon are struggling to cope with the rising toll from the one million unexploded cluster bombs left over from last summer's Israeli offensive on the country.
To cope with the demand, the Canadian-financed Lebanese Welfare Association for the Handicapped has opened a new center in the southern market town of Nabatiyeh, in an area that bore the brunt of Israel's July-August offensive.
"Since our center opened in Nabatiyeh (two days ago) we have already had 35 requests for prosthetic arms and legs," said the center's director Bassam Singer.
