In order to mitigate threats posed by unexploded ordnances (UXOs) from the recent conflict to vulnerable communities, UNIFIL’s Indian peacekeepers carried out an awareness campaign recently reaching 220 schoolchildren from three public schools in south Lebanon.

UNIFIL peacekeepers across southern Lebanon have been conducting numerous medical and educational support initiatives in aid of local communities in their pursuit of rebuilding lives following the recent conflict.

UNIFIL and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) yesterday, renewing the UN peacekeeping mission’s support for humanitarian and operational demining in the UNIFIL area of operations in south Lebanon.
