More than 60 dead in Israeli raid on Qana-Lebanon

UNITED NATIONS, July 30 (Reuters) More than 60 bodies, mostly women and children, have been found in the Lebanese village of Qana after an Israeli air strike and the death toll is expected to keep rising, Lebanon said today.

The Lebanese people were ''mourning their martyrs'' and ''with one voice they are calling upon you for a cease-fire,'' Lebanese Foreign Ministry official Nouhad Mahmoud told an urgent session of the U.N. Security Council.

''Rescue workers have now plucked more than 60 corpses from under a residential building. More corpses continue to be plucked from the ruins, mostly women and children,'' he said.
