Over 1.2m in Lebanon expected to face acute hunger: UN-backed report
"More than 1.2 million people in Lebanon are expected to face acute hunger this year due to conflict, displacement and economic pressures amid the latest war between Israel and Hezbollah."
"Families who were just managing to cope are now being pushed back into crisis as conflict, displacement and rising costs collide, making food increasingly unaffordable."
"Compounded shocks are undermining agricultural livelihoods and impacting food security, highlighting the urgent need for emergency agricultural assistance to support farmers and prevent further deterioration."
Lebanon faces a severe food crisis, with 1.24 million people projected to experience acute hunger this year due to ongoing conflict and economic challenges. A report by the FAO, WFP, and Lebanon's Ministry of Agriculture indicates a significant increase in food insecurity since the war began on March 2. Prior to the conflict, 874,000 people were already facing acute food insecurity. The situation has worsened due to violence, displacement, and rising food costs, necessitating urgent agricultural assistance to support farmers.
