Lebanon is facing a food security crisis as the Iran war disrupts supplies of goods inside the country, the United Nations World Food Programme says
“What we’re witnessing is not just a displacement crisis, it is rapidly becoming a food security crisis,” says World Food Programme country director Allison Oman, speaking via video link from Beirut.
She warns that food is becoming increasingly unaffordable due to rising prices and rising demand among displaced families.
