Israeli Attacks Are Breaking Lebanon’s Ability to Feed Itself

Israeli attacks are causing severe damage to agricultural land in southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley, with farmers abandoning fields and the agricultural system collapsing. The FAO estimates that 17% of the population is already in a food crisis, and this is expected to rise to 22.5% by this summer. Lebanon's heavy reliance on food imports makes it vulnerable to this conflict, impacting food production and the economy.
