# Ten Countries Call for ‘Urgent End’ to Lebanon Hostilities in Joint Statement

**Beirut (TDI): **Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and six other countries have issued a joint statement calling for an urgent end to hostilities in Lebanon.

The 10 nations expressed deep concern over the worsening humanitarian situation and displacement crisis caused by ongoing fighting.

The countries strongly condemned actions that killed United Nations peacekeepers and significantly increased risks to humanitarian personnel in southern Lebanon.

They welcomed the recent two-week ceasefire between the United States, Israel, and Iran while urging that the guns also fall silent in Lebanon.

The joint statement was signed by Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Sierra Leone, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The nations emphasized the need to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure and to respect international humanitarian law to allow safe delivery of aid.

The appeal follows the deaths of three UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon. On March 29, 2026, one peacekeeper was killed by an Israeli tank.

On March 30, 2026, others were killed by an explosive device planted by Hezbollah, according to initial findings by the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

The three fallen soldiers were Cpl. Farizal Rhomadon, Maj. Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, and 1st Sgt. Mohammed Nur Ichwan. They were the first UNIFIL fatalities in a combat incident since regional hostilities erupted earlier in the month.

All three peacekeepers were members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) serving in southern Lebanon. At least 35 people were killed and another 159 wounded in Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health.

The overall death toll now stands at 2,124, with 6,921 people injured since March 2. Ten World Food Program convoys have reached southern Lebanon to assist an estimated 50,000 to 150,000 people in hard-to-reach areas.

WFP Country Director Corinne Oman described the situation as a “two-layered crisis”, noting that over 80 percent of southern markets have collapsed and many traders have less than one week of essential food stocks remaining.
