Japan Supports Mine Clearance Activities in Bint Jbeil Caza
2019/7/9
As part of its ongoing support of Lebanon’s security and stability, the Government of Japan extended a $450,000 grant to the Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA), through the Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Program, to support mine clearance activities in the village of Rmeich, part of the Caza of Bint Jbeil.
On the occasion of the project completion, on July 9 2019, Mr. Yoshitake Naraoka, Counsellor at the Embassy of Japan to Lebanon, attended a handover ceremony organized by NPA, during which the previously contaminated lands were handed over to their owners, following successful mine clearance works. The Japanese grant helped provide advanced demining equipment to NPA, and covered the operational cost of a mine action team. Its main aim was to limit human casualties and reduce incidents caused by scattered mines and explosives, as well as restore stability to the region.
