World Food Programme warns Lebanon facing food security crisis due to Iran war

Lebanon is facing a food security crisis as the Iran war disrupts supplies of goods inside the country, the United Nations World Food Programme said on Friday.

"What we're witnessing is not just a displacement crisis, it is rapidly becoming a food security crisis," Allison Oman, World Food Programme country director for Lebanon, told Reuters.

She warned that food was becoming increasingly unaffordable due to soaring food prices and rising demand among displaced families.
