KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — The Malaysian Battalion 850-7 (Malbatt 850-7) peacekeeping force is ready to provide Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) if the commitment is required by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) following yesterday’s explosion incident in Beirut.
Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang said the peacekeepers have been in Lebanon since October last year to participate in the Unifil mission, and they are still continuing their routine operations under the UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
“The Malbatt 850-7 is always committed and ready for any duties and responsibilities in helping to maintain peace in the country.
“All the troops are safe, in high spirits, and not affected by the incident,” he said in a statement here today.
