UNICEF: Lebanon Unexploded Ordnance
Unexploded ordnance and booby-trapped buildings are hindering an already highly restricted relief effort trying to provide vital food and water and evacuate the injured from the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon. Up to 8,000 people remain caught in a deadly stand-off there between the military and Islamist militants. UNICEF and its partners have made educating and protecting Lebanese children from unexploded munitions a top priority. The U.N. estimates that there are an estimated 1 million unexploded munitions, including cluster bombs, littered throughout southern Lebanon ' left there by the war that ended six moths ago. Since August, exploding ordinance has killed or injured more than 200 people.
