UN outlines peacekeeping movements and reports violations in Lebanon and CAR
Summary
The UN said Under‑Secretary‑General Jean‑Pierre Lacroix will visit Fiji and Australia at the end of July and outlined peacekeeping operations, including UNIFIL reports of airspace violations and artillery firing in southern Lebanon and MINUSCA reinforcements and humanitarian deliveries in the Central African Republic.
The United Nations provided several peacekeeping updates, saying Jean‑Pierre Lacroix, the head of UN peacekeeping, will visit Fiji from July 31 to Aug. 6 and then travel to Australian cities to open the UN police peacekeeping training program and meet senior officials. The spokesman said Lacroix will visit the Black Rock Camp and engage with host governments, civil society and academia.
On operational developments, the briefing said UNIFIL recorded about 80 airspace violations in three days, observed IDF tanks firing into residential structures that caused fires, and faced restrictions on movement including roadblocks. In the Central African Republic, MINUSCA reinforced security and facilitated humanitarian deliveries reaching nearly 18,000 displaced people since recent attacks.
