The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said the UNIFIL will study the ways it can possibly help Lebanon counter the threat of an oil spill from Israel affecting Lebanon’s shores.

“With regard to the oil and tar spill that reached parts of Lebanon’s southern shores, local authorities have contacted the UNIFIL inquiring about the assistance that could be provided within the limits of our capabilities and available equipment,” said Tenenti in a statement.

“For our part, we are studying these requests to see how we can help,” he added.
