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