For the first time since COVID-19 measures were put in place and in an effort to boost the local economy, UNIFIL last week hosted eight local women’s cooperatives in an exhibition where they could sell handmade products to UNIFIL peacekeepers.

UNIFIL today handed over the first monthly delivery of fuel to its strategic partners, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), at a ceremony in the UN mission’s headquarters in Naqoura, south Lebanon.

As children return to school in Lebanon after prolonged COVID-19 restrictions, UNIFIL peacekeepers from Finland recently implemented support projects in south Lebanon benefiting about 3,000 pupils of 10 public schools.
