Large numbers of people are on the move in Lebanon, after an escalation in conflict in September 2024 and the fall of the Assad regime in Syria.

Despite a ceasefire, the situation in the country remains precarious due to long-standing economic and political crises.

Food prices have risen sharply compared to pre-COVID-19. Even before the increase in hostilities, over 1 million people were struggling to put food on the table.

WFP plans to assist 65,000 conflict-affected Lebanese with emergency cash transfers and is currently providing daily hot meals to displaced people.

As the Logistics Cluster lead, WFP has facilitated interagency convoys delivering humanitarian aid to conflict-affected families.

Humanitarian needs are outpacing resources. WFP urgently needs US$203.6 million for operations up to December 2025.

What the World Food Programme is doing to respond to the Lebanon emergency

Food and cash assistance
WFP supplied hot meals, food supplies and cash assistance in shelters and communities across Lebanon in 2024, reaching 750,000 people displaced by fighting. We also continue to provide support through our regular programmes, promoting stability during a period of large upheaval.
Refugees
WFP is supporting 23,100 newly displaced Syrians across 138 shelters, including 12,800 in Bekaa and Baalbek-El Hermel, and 10,000 in Akkar and North Lebanon. From June to August, WFP aims to reach 30,000 more people in host communities, with 15,000 already assisted in Akkar.
