Britain's international development minister Jenny Chapman called on Thursday for Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon so that families displaced by three months of war could return to their homes.
"Israel should withdraw from southern Lebanon, absolutely. Displacement we know anywhere in the world causes huge disruption," she told Reuters while visiting a school where displaced families were sheltering. "That is why we want to get the conditions right so that people can return home and be secure, be safe and be confident they can stay in their homes for the long term."
