UNIFIL Condemns Missile Attack on Ghanaian Peacekeepers
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has condemned an attack on Ghanaian Peacekeepers stationed in southern Lebanon.
In a statement on Facebook, the Secretary-General underscored that the safety and security of UN personnel and property must be respected at all times while emphasising that those responsible must be held accountable.
“The inviolability of UN installations must be respected by all.”
The United Nations further urged the parties to de-escalate immediately and fully adhere to their obligations under Security Council resolution 1701 (2006).
Two Ghanaian soldiers were critically injured inside their position in Al Qawzah, southwestern Lebanon, amidst heavy firing on March 6.
Ghana has since petitioned the UN for an immediate investigation to bring the perpetrator to book.
