The Defence Forces have advised that there are sufficient supplies of both water and food in Camp Shamrock as well as the availability of contingency food packs, and that further deliveries were made to Camp Shamrock over the last weekend. This is in addition to a contingency supply chain that is in place to allow all of UNIFIL to remain in place for up to 30 days. These contingency arrangements were enhanced during the summer period. Our Defence Forces took proactive action in the summer period in anticipation of potential issues arising to make sure there were sufficient supplies for 30 days. That said, the force commander will have to engage with all the actors in the region, including the Israel Defence Forces, IDF, with a view to logistics around resupply of the outposts. Even though there are sufficient supplies for the moment, that is an issue that will have to be addressed. In the first instance, the force commander will engage on that issue on the ground and, obviously, the two contributing countries will also be putting pressure on diplomatically in respect of that issue.
