UNIFIL, its strategic partner the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and fellow UN peacekeepers today paid their last respects to a Ghanaian soldier who recently succumbed to an illness while serving for peace in south Lebanon. 

Every day, the women and men of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon are on the frontline to promote peace and stability in the Mission’s area of operations and along the Blue Line, while operating in a very challenging environment between Lebanon and Israel.

Since the beginning of the outbreak of COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, UNIFIL leadership put in place all necessary precautionary measures in order to prevent the virus infection among the Mission’s more than 11,000 military and civilian peacekeepers.
