Más del 22 % de las tierras agrícolas del Líbano, unas 56.000 hectáreas, han resultado afectadas o dañadas, incluidas tierras quemadas o destruidas, dijo a la AFP en Beirut Beth Bechdol, directora general adjunta de la FAO.

Una evaluación de las autoridades libanesas respaldada por la ONU estimó en junio que las pérdidas de producción agrícola en el sur este año alcanzan al menos 530 millones de dólares. Los agricultores ya no pueden acceder a sus tierras y los mercados e insumos están alterados.

Bechdol también expresó preocupación por la contaminación del suelo por municiones sin explotar y dijo que la FAO estudia alianzas de desminado en el sur.
