Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Anne Valand, World Food Program Lebanon Deputy Country Director. Ms.Valand describes a deepening crisis across multiple fronts: conflict-driven displacement, agricultural disruption, market dysfunction, and funding shortfalls all reinforcing one another. She warns, “people are uprooting their lives, essentially losing their homes, their assets,” while the destruction of agricultural capacity risks pushing Lebanon further into dependency on volatile imports. 1.24 million face acute hunger, the highest level ever recorded in the country.
