Lebanon faces a serious food crisis

More than one million people are facing acute food insecurity in Lebanon, warn the UN, FAO, and World Food Programme. They project that this figure could reach 1.15 million by mid-2027, representing nearly a quarter of the population. The consequences of successive conflicts, economic collapse, unemployment, and rising prices of basic necessities are exacerbating the situation. The southern, northern, and eastern regions of the country are particularly affected. Humanitarian agencies are calling for urgent intervention to support families and revive agricultural production.
