Israel has announced that its air blockade of Lebanon is over but says a naval blockade will continue until the international force is in place.
The Lebanese Prime Minister, Fouad Siniora, said he expects Israel to lift the sea blockade tomorrow.
Israel imposed the blockade in July after Hezbollah militants captured two of its soldiers, which led to 34 days of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, the UN World Food Programme says it will probably conclude its emergency operation in Lebanon by the end of next month.
The WFP has said the number of those in immediate need of food, shelter and other aid appears to have fallen since a UN truce between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas began on 14 August.
Almost a quarter of Lebanon's population returned to their homes within four days of the guns falling silent.
That, along with the fact that communities have embraced people affected by the war, gave WFP's Executive Director James Morris confidence that Lebanon 'will be back on its own soon'.
The WFP has confirmed $10.8 million towards its emergency operation to provide food aid from donors including Germany, Saudi Arabia, France, Canada, the US, Japan, Luxembourg, Greece, Denmark and Singapore.
