Despite a reduction in violence, the situation in southern #Lebanon remains fragile, as displaced families return to damaged homes lacking even basic utilities.

@UNIFIL_ peacekeepers continue monitoring the situation despite ongoing challenges, spokesperson @hikandice says.

A simple conversation can turn “I heard” into “it’s true” when information isn’t checked.

Misinformation often starts without a clear source—it begins with us, passing on unverified words that quickly become a “credible source.”

Some activities in sensitive areas require coordination with the armies on both sides of the Blue Line to ensure the safety of all involved. Through its liaison channels, UNIFIL ensures that necessary reconstruction and repair work can proceed safely.

يواصل حفظة السلام التابعون لليونيفيل وجودهم على الأرض، لمراقبة الوضع ورفع تقارير عن الانتهاكات التي يرصدونها، بما يتماشى مع ولايتنا بموجب قرار مجلس الأمن الدولي رقم 1701.

We are deeply saddened by the killing of two volunteers of the Red Cross of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Byamungu Mugisho Kabuha and Mugisho Mparanya Romain, on 16 June in South Kivu.

The IFRC extends its deepest condolences to the families of the deceased volunteers, the Red Cross of the DRC @croix_rouge_rdc, and the entire Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

We stand in solidarity with the Red Cross of the DRC and reaffirms its commitment to continue supporting humanitarian efforts to assist communities in eastern DRC.

Amidst months of intense violence in south Lebanon, UNIFIL peacekeepers have remained in their positions across their area of operations and along the Blue Line to monitor developments, report on the situation, and assist affected communities. 🧵

يمكن للعنوان العاطفي أن يجعل المعلومات المضللة تبدو مُقنعة.
لكن تذكّر: نصف الحقيقة قد يكون مُضلّلًا.

توقّف لحظة. اطّلع على الصورة الكاملة. وتحقّق من المصدر قبل أن تصدّق أو تشارك.
انشر بوعي: كن جزءًا من الحقيقة لا من التضليل.

[UNIFIL @UNIFIL_]

An emotional headline can make misinformation seem believable. But remember: half a truth can still be misleading.

Take a step back. Look at the full picture. Check the source before you believe or share it.

Share responsibly: Be part of the truth, not misinformation.

تبرع حفظة السلام التابعون لليونيفيل بالدم لدعم مستشفى مرجعيون وتعزيز مخزون الدم فيه. وتأتي هذه المبادرة في إطار التعاون المستمر مع المؤسسات الصحية المحلية. يشكّل دعم المجتمعات المحلية ركيزة أساسية في عملنا في جنوب لبنان.

UNIFIL peacekeepers have not detected any trajectories or observed interceptions or airstrikes since Sunday, marking more than two days without such activity since the resumption of hostilities on 2 March.

Since renewed violence in south Lebanon, repairing roads & bridges has been a core task for UNIFIL peacekeepers. These repairs support mission mobility and help ensure access for humanitarian actors in areas affected by ongoing hostilities & displacement.

United Nations Secretary-General @antonioguterres warns the Security Council about the consequences of escalating violence in the Middle East and urges full support for the two-State solution.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Since March, we have witnessed a serious escalation – as Israel intensified its operations in Lebanese territory & Hizbullah fired deeper into Israel.

All parties must work towards a diplomatic settlement that fully respects the territorial integrity, sovereignty & political independence of Lebanon.

I fully support a monopoly on weapons by the Lebanese Government.
‌
The process must start with a comprehensive ceasefire respected by all parties everywhere, alleviating the suffering of communities on both sides of the Blue Line.

I hope further negotiations will contribute to lasting peace & stability.

📽️ #Vidéo | Dix ans après la dispersion silencieuse de ses collections, la Cinémathèque tente ainsi de reconstituer le puzzle fragmenté de la mémoire audiovisuelle du pays. Entre bobines abandonnées, archives sauvées in extremis et nouvelles ambitions de restauration et de transmission, l’institution publique veut désormais devenir bien plus qu’un simple lieu de conservation.

Pendant des années, une partie des archives filmiques libanaises est restée oubliée dans les bâtiments du palais de l’Unesco. « Un peu à l’abandon, un peu mis à l’écart », raconte Vanessa Helou, responsable des archives cinéma au ministère de la Culture.
