Lebanon facing ‘severe’ food insecurity as conflict continues: WFP

Amid Israel’s attacks, Lebanon is currently experiencing one of the “most severe forms of food insecurity”, a World Food Programme (WFP) spokesperson has told Al Jazeera. “We are now focusing on the poorest, weakest and most vulnerable in Lebanon. The solution to the food crisis in Lebanon lies in a ceasefire. The security situation is hindering food relief operations in Lebanon. “The damage inflicted on the agricultural sector in Lebanon is deepening the food problem,” the spokesperson said.
