The United Kingdom’s International Development Minister Jenny Chapman has called on Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon so that families displaced by three months of war can return to their homes.
“Israel should withdraw from southern Lebanon, absolutely. Displacement, we know, anywhere in the world causes huge disruption,” she tells Reuters while visiting a school where displaced families were sheltering.
“That is why we want to get the conditions right so that people can return home and be secure, be safe and be confident they can stay in their homes for the long term.”
