With more than 23 million people estimated to be living in Texas, it is one of the most populated states. Texas is considered to be a cultural epicenter because there are so many people speaking different languages because of Texas’ location relative to Mexico. In order to better suit your needs almost all of the insurance companies in the area are fluent in Spanish as well as English, which can be very helpful for people who speak a limited amount of English.

There are many different Texas health insurance plans that citizens of the lone star state can choose from.

This means that almost all of the children in the state of Texas are eligible for some type of Texas health insurance plan.

 I came across this news on bbc.com titled, UN gets Israeli cluster bomb maps. The title intrigued me to read the whole. According to bbc.com, the UN says Israel used some four million cluster bomblets on Lebanon, of which about a quarter did not explode. Most of the cluster bomblets were fired in the last 72 hours of the 33-day war with Hezbollah in Lebanon in July and August 2006. According to the UN Mine Action Coordination Centre, about 300 civilians have since been killed or maimed by left-over munitions. majority of the victims were children, often from rural areas in south Lebanon, who had used the bomblets as toys.

Close to 300 children became victims of Israeli cluster bombs and not even a word of condemning Israel from anyone. Where are the human rights organizations now. Why aren’t they bringing this up on every forum. Aren’t these children human. To rescue eight soldiers Israel killed 300 innocent children.

CNN.com had a little story about Mohammad Hajj Mousa who lost both of his legs because of a cluster bomb. According to CNN, War was raging in southern Lebanon at the time. Muhammad and his father thought there was some sort of ceasefire in place, so they felt relatively safe. That is, until the motorcycle hit an obstacle on the road. The detonation of the cluster bomb set Muhammad’s body on fire. He made it to the river and the Red Cross volunteers pulled him from the water.

The Moussas are one of many families of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Bassam Singer is an orthopedic specialist, who is working to help the victims of cluster bombs recover a semblance of normalcy.
