“It’s extremely volatile, extremely dangerous, and you know, we see the situation for us as peacekeepers, also for civilians who live in certain areas, Because there are civilians who have chosen to stay there and the peacekeepers are supporting them <\/strong>Any way we can,” unifil<\/a> Spokeswoman Candice Ardill said united nations news<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking from the force’s headquarters in Nakoura, southwest Lebanon, he said the assistance includes the coordination and delivery of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

Peacekeepers have also assisted in the transfer of civilians to safe areas upon request<\/strong> and continue patrolling to monitor the situation and provide reassurance to survivors.<\/p>\n

During our interview with Ms. Ardill, gunshots could be heard in the background.<\/p>\n

An estimated 2,000 villagers still live near the Blue Line.<\/strong> Which separates Israel from Lebanon.<\/p>\n

“These villages are obviously in a very difficult situation. They are increasingly cut off from the rest of Lebanon and are having difficulty getting supplies,” Ms Ardeel said. “So, there are agencies that are helping to bring food, medicine and hygiene supplies to them in the south, and UNIFIL is helping to coordinate their movements to make sure they can safely get to the places they need to go.”<\/p>\n

In addition to recording rocket and missile fire, the UN mission has reported Israeli military activities in southern Lebanon and continued violations of the UN security council<\/a> Resolution 1701 \u2013 an important UN security council<\/a> The text adopted in 2006 calls for a complete cessation of hostilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen large numbers of Israeli incursions into various areas in southern Lebanon, including near our headquarters in Nakoura,\u201d Ms Ardeel said. “About a week ago and in recent days, we saw very violent fighting that we could hear.”<\/p>\n

Ms. Ardill emphasized that, unless the Security Council mandate for UNIFIL changes, The peacekeepers are determined to remain and continue their mission<\/strong>: “Unfortunately, this is not the first time that one of our positions has been harmed, attacked and damaged due to ongoing violence.”<\/p>\n

UNIFIL’s headquarters has been apparently damaged by bullets, shrapnel and rockets, while Israeli military operations have been observed in Nakoura and several areas further east.<\/p>\n

“Of course, this is a violation of Resolution 1701. Every projectile fired, every bullet, these are also violations, coming continuously from both sides,” the UNIFIL spokesperson stressed.<\/p>\n

“It is extremely dangerous for peacekeepers to work at this time,” Ardeel concluded, “but this is something we are doing to help protect civilians who choose to remain in South Lebanon.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
