Naqoura (Arabic: الناقورة, Enn Nâqoura, Naqoura, An Nāqūrah) is a small city in southern Lebanon. Approximate population for 7 km radius from this point is 24,910. Since March 23, 1978 until present, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in Lebanon has been headquartered in Naqoura. UNIFIL was set up with the mandate to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, to restore international peace and security and to assist the Government of Lebanon in ensuring the return of its effective authority in the area. Until now, however, it has not been possible for UNIFIL to carry out in full its original mandate.
