4 June 2009: Funding shortfall for demining in the way of durable solutions


Deminers clearing unexploded cluster bombs in south Lebanon might lose two thirds of their teams this year due to a drastic funding shortfall. Physical security remains a big concern for returnees in south Lebanon. Since the end of hostilities in 2006, the unexploded ordnance had already killed 40 people, injured a further 300 and left many permanently disabled. Of the estimated four million cluster bomblets dropped by Israeli forces on south Lebanon during the last few days of the 2006 war with Hezbollah, the consensus among deminers is that around half a million did not explode and several hundred thousand remain to be cleared.
