12th batch of Chinese peacekeeping force is sent to Lebanon in 2014 (Linked to #41114)

In late January 2014, the 12th batch of China's peacekeeping forces was sent to Lebanon as part of the UN Interim Forces In Lebanon (UNIFIL). They served for 12 months and assisted in engineering and construction, medical treatment, and consulting and advice. They worked primarily in southern Lebanon. The group was awarded the "Peace Medal of Honor" by the UN on July 29, 2014. China has sent UNFIL peacekeeping forces to Lebanon every year from 2006 to 2020. The program was temporarily suspended due to COVID-19 on June 30, 2020, but reinstated in August 2020 to respond to the Beirut explosion. See project ID #41114 for the full project.
