         10. The Force has continued to resist attempts by the de facto forces to operate in the UNIFIL area of deployment, although in some instances they were able to enter that area with the assistance of the Israeli forces.

         11. During the latter part of the reporting period, the UNIFIL area has been generally quiet and no armed clashes have been observed.

         12.Until 16 June, UNIFIL humanitarian teams were able to assist the population of Tyre through the distribution of food and water and the dispensing of medical aid. Basic food-stuffs and milk for children were distributed to the local population and Palestinian refugees.Water supply was organized in many places, especially in and around the Palestinian refugee camps. These efforts of UNIFIL in Tyre were halted by the Israeli authorities on 16 June. Despite a request by the Lebanese Government that UNIFIL should continue to assist in Tyre, this decision has not yet been changed. In the second half of June the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and other relief organizations were able to commence relief work in the Tyre pocket. UNIFIL continues to co-operate with these organizations by providing transport, storage facilities and procurement support.

         13. Inside the UNIFIL area of operation, there has been a significant, increase of the population. UNIFIL, in co-operation with UNICEF, has been providing food and portable water and has rendered important medical Assistance through the Swedish medical company and medical teams of the battalions.

         14. In the UNIFIL hospital, there was a significant increase in the number of surgical operations. Most of the operations were performed on Lebanese civilians. Compared to the figures from the beginning of 1982, the number of hospitalized patients has doubled. Many of the patients treated had received injuries from shell fragments or mines.

Observations .

         15. In my last report on UNIFIL (S/15194/Add.2), I referred0 to the fundamentally altered situation in which the Force found itself after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The Council then decided, in its resolution 511(1982).to extend. as an interim measure, the mandate of UNIFIL for a period of two months.

         16. It will be seen from my present report that, despite the difficulties it has faced, the Force has been deeply engaged in extending protection and humanitarian assistance to the civilian population in its area. It has also extended the fullest co-operation possible to the humanitarian efforts of various United Nations programs and ICRC. There is no doubt in my mind that the presence of UNIFIL has provided an important stabilizing in moderating influence in South Lebanon during these difficult weeks.

         17.The over-all- situation in the area, however, remains uncertain and fraught with danger. I have been in constant touch with the Government of Lebanon, which has indicated that, in the existing circumstances. UNIFIL should continue to be stationed in the area for an additional interim period of two months, pending further consideration of the situation in the light of Security Council resolutions 508 (1982),509(1982), 511(1982), 512(1982),513(1982), 515(1982), 516(1982), and 517(1982). In this connection, the Permanent Representative of Lebanon, referring to his letter to me of 26 July 1982 (S/15309), has reiterated his Government's request that UNIFIL assist the Lebanese authorities in discharging their responsibilities.Taking all factors into account, and bearing in mind the position of the Government of Lebanon, I recommend that the Security Council extend the mandate of the UNIFIL for a further interim period.
