UNIFIL’s Spanish peacekeepers provided a range of firefighting equipment to 10 Lebanese Civil Defence Centres (CDCs) in south-eastern villages last week. The support is crucial especially during the ongoing dry season when bushfires in Lebanon are rampant.

As part of UNIFIL’s continued support to host communities, the mission executed two projects this week with the aim of improving food security in south-eastern Lebanon.

With Lebanon easing COVID-related restrictions and schools preparing to welcome students again, UNIFIL supported last week nine public schools in the country’s south-eastern villages with critical school supplies and education materials.
