On August 13, UNIFIL French peacekeepers organized a lively summer event in Dibil, south Lebanon.

Since the exchanges of fire across the Blue Line started 10 months ago, almost 100,000 people living close to the 120-kilometre Line have fled to safer areas northward. Those staying behind for various reasons have been left with limited protection network, including medical care.

A state-owned network of water distribution systems in south-western Lebanon got a new lease of life recently after a UNIFIL-funded project supplied the Tyre Water Bureau with much-needed equipment, tools and spare parts.
