Human Rights Wartch, no conservative outfit by any stretch of the imagination, is confirming the Qana death toll is much smaller than being reported:

(Beirut, August 2, 2006) – A preliminary Human Rights Watch investigation into the July 30 Israeli air strike in Qana found that 28 people are confirmed dead thus far, among them 16 children, Human Rights Watch said today.

…

The initial estimate of 54 persons killed was based on a register of 63 persons who had sought shelter in the basement of the building that was struck, and rescue teams having located nine survivors. It now appears that at least 22 people escaped the basement, and 28 are confirmed dead, according to records from the Lebanese Red Cross and the government hospital in Tyre.

Again, every death is tragic, more so if it is a child. But the world media has been overblowing this incident and failing to investigate the Hezbollah joint war crime of hiding their military within civilian populations and possibly exploiting the corpses of dead children with props to create a propaganda event.
