Unifil looking to sailors to potentially resupply peacekeepers in Lebanon

Irish peacekeepers continue to carry out the UNSCR mandate in the area of operations.

Sailors from five ships linked to the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (Unifil), who are anchored off the Lebanese coast, could be deployed to help resupply Irish and other peacekeepers.

A Unifil spokesperson says the logistics of keeping their bases supplied is “one of the things” it is trying to solve during the ongoing conflict.
