Lebanon’s health minister has said what is happening in his country is “carnage”, as hospitals struggle to cope with the number of casualties from two days of widespread Israeli air strikes targeting the armed group Hezbollah.

Dr Firass Abiad told the BBC it was “clear” that many of the 550 people killed in Monday’s attacks were civilians, including children and women.

    It’s not the same result. Politicians have to appeal to voters, they are free to ignore nonvoters.

    If you’re not voting, then you’re not voting for Trump as well as not voting for Harris. Are you surprised that Trump isn’t courting your vote? You shouldn’t be.

    But Harris has no more reason to court your vote than Trump does. You’re a nonvoter, so they are both ignoring you.

      OK I don’t understand your logic. They spend billions of dollars to get people to vote. Door knockers are there to get people like me to vote. Do you not understand how elections work?

        No, they are trying to reach people who are not sure if they are going to vote.

        They are not trying to reach people like you, who have decided not to vote.
