Relief agencies rushed to deliver aid to south Lebanon after the ceasefire. Scarce supplies of humanitarian relief could be transported beyond the Litani river given destruction of main highways.

 The United Nations set up a base in the port city of Tyre. Truckloads of supplies were sent in after UN peacekeepers rebuilt the main bridge over the Litani.
