International and local activists are planning to bring a civilian convoy to southern Lebanon this Saturday.
The march to the areas worst hit by Israel's 28-day-old war on Hizbullah, is to deliver aid and show solidarity with suffering residents.
"We hope this will be the first of what will become continuous convoys to show that there are civilians being killed and affected by this war," Adam Shapiro, an American documentary filmmaker and human rights activist, told Reuters.
"If governments are failing to act, we as citizens will."
Mr Shapiro (34) is among several activists from the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a pro-Palestinian group that usually works to bring attention to Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, that has travelled to Lebanon seeking non-violent ways to support local groups protesting the war.
One idea they are considering is to bring large numbers of people, rather than a few activists, to the Hizbullah strongholds of south Lebanon or south Beirut to try to protect them or draw attention to the plight of civilians there.
At least 966 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Lebanon since the war began on July 12th with Hizbullah's capture of two Israeli soldiers. Israel's total death toll is 100.
