Lebanon is facing an acute food crisis as Israeli attacks continue, according to the World Food Programme (WFP). A WFP spokesperson told Al Jazeera that the country is experiencing the most severe level of food insecurity, with the agency focusing its efforts on the poorest and most vulnerable populations. The spokesperson emphasized that a lasting ceasefire is the only way to resolve the crisis.

The WFP reported that deteriorating security conditions are hindering relief operations across Lebanon. The conflict has caused extensive damage to the agricultural sector, further worsening the food shortage. The organization warned that the collapse of supply chains and disruptions in agricultural production have placed Lebanon’s food security under serious threat.

The WFP’s assessment highlights the growing humanitarian strain in Lebanon, where ongoing conflict and logistical challenges are compounding the risk of widespread hunger.
