A post clearance project funded by WRA was launched in January 2012 and stopped in December 2012 on 683 Cluster munitions strikes cleared since the Israeli Enemy hostilities in July 2006.
Operation Achievements
Cluster Munitions Clearance
For cluster munitions strike areas, overall approximately 68% of that land was released until 2013 for use by the affected community.
There remain some cluster munitions affected areas in Lebanon where there is currently no work being undertaken, including around Baalbeck in the Bekaa valley, and in Mount Lebanon because they are not currently considered priority areas.
Non Technical survey (NTS)
The National Non Technical Survey (NTS) is an ongoing process that has started on October 2011.
Mine fields/Dangerous areas Clearance
Overall, approximately 63% of the total land suspected to be contaminated from landmines, all over the country including the Blue line(clearance of blue line started in Oct 2016), was cleared until July 2017.
Dangerous Areas` Clearance
There remain some landmine- affected areas in Lebanon where there is currently no work being undertaken because of lack of funding which would allow for more demining teams or because such areas are mostly listed as third priority which will be tackled once second priority land has been completed.
