Rainfall can displace landmines and unexploded objects, bringing them to the surface or moving them to new locations and increasing the risk of accidental exposure.
Stay safe:
- Avoid areas where explosions or hostilities have occurred.
- Stay alert: Be cautious of suspicious objects, which may be hidden under debris or in areas where children may play, and other outdoor areas.
- If you see an unknown object: (1) STOP, (2) do not approach, (3) do not touch, (4) call the Lebanese Mine Action Center at 05956143. Stay where you are or calmly follow the same route you came from.
- Teach children about explosive safety: Remind them never to approach or touch unknown objects and to alert a trusted adult.
