Much has changed in Lebanon since the Cessation of Hostilities Understanding came into force in the early hours of 27 November 2024. 

Working in collaboration with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), UNIFIL Spanish peacekeepers cleared three major obstacles on the road near Khiam, south-eastern Lebanon, earlier this week. 

Some 200 children and adolescents living in an orphanage in the southern village of Maaroub had a joyful start to the year 2025, having received packages of sweets, toys, clothes and school supplies from UNIFIL’s Italian and Malaysian peacekeepers last week.
