Join the Al Hidaya Association of Montreal & Tadamon! for an interactive 
slide-show & presentation from HABBOUBA AOUN of the Landmine Resource 
Center in Beirut.

Habbouba Aoun is visiting Canada this week to provide insight & 
information concerning the effects of Israeli cluster bombs on Lebanon. 
During her visit to Canada, Aoun has spoken to the national press on 
Parliament Hill in Ottawa & to Members of the Canadian Parliament.

This Montreal event will be an opportunity for Montrealers & members of 
the Lebanese Diaspora to hear a first-hand account on the devastating 
effects of Israeli cluster munitions, within the context of a growing 
international campaign to ban these weapons in war.

U.N. officials estimate that Israel discharged up to 1 million cluster 
bomblets during the 2006 attack, 40% of which remain unexploded in 
southern Lebanon. The hundreds of thousands of unexploded cluster bomblets 
sprayed over the country pose a deadly danger to the people of Lebanon.

Since the U.N. brokered ceasefire on August 14th, 156 people have become 
victims of cluster munitions, 90% of which were civilians and one third of 
which are under the age of 18 years.
