August 4 Oil-spill clean-up delayed by conflictElectronic Intifada - 4 Aug 2006European and Arab governments are ready to step in with aid and equipment to help Lebanon tackle a 10,000-tonne oil spill that was the result of Israeli air strikes on the fuel tanks of Jiyeh power station, 20km south of Beirut, on 13 and 15 July. However, the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel in the south of the country is stopping them from doing so, according to a member of the Lebanese environment ministry, who did not want to be named. "They cannot mobilise their forces until a ceasefire is called," said the ministry official. "We are operating in a state of war so normal procedure cannot be followed in this situation $ a lot of countries are on standby trying to get the aid to us," she said.
