Beirut, Lebanon – The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned of a worsening food security crisis in Lebanon. It noted that more than 1.2 million people are facing acute levels of food insecurity amid deteriorating economic and living conditions and rising poverty rates.

The UN agency explained that the current crisis stems from a confluence of factors. Chief among these are the ongoing economic collapse and soaring prices of basic commodities. The repercussions of regional crises have also cast a shadow over Lebanon, leading to a significant decline in household purchasing power.

OCHA noted that the most affected groups include low-income families and refugees. A large segment of the population is now unable to meet their daily food needs amidst increasing reliance on humanitarian aid.

The report emphasized that the continuation of these conditions threatens further deterioration. This will occur unless urgent measures are taken to support the most vulnerable groups and strengthen relief programs. The necessary funding must also be provided to ensure the sustainability of aid.

The United Nations called on the international community to intensify its efforts to support Lebanon in confronting this crisis. It also called for action to mitigate its humanitarian repercussions, especially given the accumulated economic challenges that threaten social stability in the country.
