Lebs fear what will happen once all foreigners are evacuated
 Frightened civilians in Lebanon fear Israeli bombing will get worse once the evacuation of thousands of foreign nationals is completed. Yesterday about 1,100 American evacuees who left Beirut by sea and air reached Cyprus. They were the largest group of US citizens to have been rescued from Lebanon in a single day. France said about 8,000 of its 17,000 citizens resident in Lebanon had asked to be evacuated. Germany sent at least 500 citizens by bus to Syria. But Lebanese civilians, including 37-year-old costume designer Ziad Nayef, say nobody cares about Arab lives. "I have a very bad feeling that after the foreigners flee the bombings will get worse," he said.
