ReliefWeb] Save ****** Lebanon: Restoring the livelihoods of fishermen ******
Beirut, 29 August 2006-The fishermen in Lebanon are among the many groups
affected by the Israeli attack. Not only do they face a naval blockade imposed
by Israel 49 days ago, but they are still suffering the consequences of the
pollution caused by an oil spill that spread over 120 Km of the Lebanese
coastline. Since the attack on Lebanon began, 3,500 fishermen have lost their
only source of income. Early interference is vital for reconstruction and for
supporting the Fishermen Associations in Lebanon so they can get restore their
livelihoods. UNDP has signed an agreement with the Lebanese government for
reconstruction projects including granting monetary donations to the Fishermen
Associations in Lebanon. The projects are to support theses associations and
strengthen their capabilities. An amount of 90.000 USD was allocated for
repairing damaged boats, providing nets and engines and rebuilding the fish
market in Ouzaai. [ ] With the exception of public UN sources, reproduction or
