Lebanese Olive Harvest Brings Fears of More Cluster Deaths

In Lebanon, aid workers are warning unexploded cluster bombs will likely mean a rise in casualties as the country’s harvest season nears. Hundreds of thousands of bomblets lie unexploded across the country, many in the olive trees that will be picked this year. Monitors say unexploded cluster bombs have killed at least eighty-three Lebanese civilians since last month’s ceasefire.
