1.2 million in Lebanon face war-driven hunger - Report

A UN-backed report revealed that over 1.2 million people in Lebanon are expected to face acute hunger due to the war between Israel and Hezbollah. This figure represents nearly one in four of the analyzed population, marking a significant deterioration from the 874,000 people affected before the conflict. The situation is exacerbated by conflict, displacement, and economic pressures, and without humanitarian support, food insecurity is likely to deepen.
