"Up to a million unexploded cluster bombs fired by Israel could be in south Lebanon , nearly three times as many as previously estimated, UN demining experts said Tuesday.

Israel has not responded to repeated UN requests to hand over detailed information about the cluster bomb strikes, making the task of clearing the bomblets far more difficult, they said.

”The situation in south Lebanon now, as a result of 34 days of bombing is that there is extensive unexploded ordnance lying all over the place,” Chris Clark, the top UN demining official in Lebanon, told a news conference.

The bomblets, half the size of a can of soda, are lying in people’s houses, gardens, on the street and on farmland, he said."
