An elderly French man holds tight to his grandchild as French nationals and tourists gather in Beirut waiting to be evacuated by a Greek ferry taking them from Lebanon to Cyprus, 17 July 2006, as Israel air strikes continued for the sixth consecutive day. Thousands of Arab tourists and foreign nationals have fled by road to Syria ever since Israeli air strikes closed the Beirut International airport. At least 170 Lebanese civilians have been killed since the deadly violence began over the capture of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah.
