Landmine Impact Survey: Lebanon

The Landmine Impact Survey in Lebanon summarises the results of a nationwide socio-economic survey of the effects of landmines and unexploded ordnances on communities in Lebanon. The survey was conducted over a 12 month period, ending in August 2003. This document is only one in a series of reports, which collectively constitute the Global Landmine Survey Initiative. The results of the impact survey plainly indicate that Lebanon still suffers adversely form the presence of landmines and UXOs, especially in its southern provinces and Mount Lebanon. Clearly, the extensive contamination that exists in Lebanon’s crop and pasture land will post a hazard for many years to come.
