Stretching for 120km along Lebanon's southern frontier and Israel's northern border, the Blue Line is a central element of Security Council Resolution 1701 adopted in 2006.

United Nations Video: Lebanon, Palestine & other topics - Daily Press Briefing | United Nations
Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
- Secretary-General/Security Council
- Security Council
- Lebanon/Humanitarian
- Lebanon/Peacekeeping
- Syria
- Occupied Palestinian Territory
- **Deputy Secretary-General/Trip Announcement
- Haiti
- Ukraine
- Central African Republic
- Eastern Africa

Secretary-General/Security Council
The Secretary-General briefed the Security Council this morning. He warned that the raging fires in the Middle East are fast becoming an inferno. In recent days, he said, we have seen a dramatic escalation – so dramatic that he wonders what remains of the framework the Council established with Resolution 1701.
UNIFIL peacekeepers remain in position, and the UN flag continues to fly despite Israel’s request to relocate, he noted.
Civilians in Lebanon are paying a terrible price, which the Secretary-General utterly condemns. Since last October, more than 1,700 people have been killed in Lebanon -- including over 100 children and 194 women.
Yesterday, he noted, Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles towards Israel.
As he did in relation to the Iranian attack in April -- and as should have been obvious yesterday in the context of the condemnation he expressed – the Secretary-General again strongly condemned yesterday’s massive missile attack by Iran on Israel.
Mr. Guterres told the Security Council that it is high time for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, the effective delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and irreversible progress to a two-state solution. And he added that it is high time for a cessation of hostilities in Lebanon and real action towards full implementation of Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1701, paving the way for diplomatic efforts for sustainable peace.
Security Council
The Security Council will reconvene at 3:00 pm for a briefing on the Cooperation between the UN and the African Union.
Parfait Onanga-Anyanga, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative to the African Union, and Martha Pobee, the Assistant Secretary-General for Africa, will brief the Council.
Lebanon/Humanitarian
Following the launch of the $426 million Flash Appeal for Lebanon yesterday, pledges from several Member States were made, and are greatly appreciated – but much more is urgently needed.
The UN and its humanitarian partners continue scaling up efforts to support the Government-led response. The World Food Programme has provided hot meals and emergency cash to nearly 10,000 households, while UNRWA shelters now house more than 2,300 displaced people. WHO is supplying trauma kits and medicine for tens of thousands of patients, amid facility closures, staff shortages and funding gaps.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that ongoing hostilities continue to have a devastating toll on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
More than 346,000 people are confirmed to have been displaced, with Government estimates putting the number of affected and displaced people as high as one million. As of yesterday, six hospitals and 40 primary health centres have been forced to close.
According to national authorities, the number of people having fled to Syria has exceeded 300,000, including Syrian and Lebanese nationals.
The UN reiterates that aid must be allowed to reach people safely, wherever they are.
