• 24% of the population continues to suffer from food insecurity.
• More than 1.2 million people are displaced, including 390,000 children
• Some villages do not have access to water, hospitals, or livelihood opportunities
• 15% of children aged 6 to 23 months in displacement zones are fed only milk — a serious nutritional risk
• Action Against Hunger is maintaining and adapting its health, nutrition and essential services interventions to continue reaching the displaced population.

Following the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, the humanitarian situation remains extremely fragile. Action Against Hunger warns that the cessation of hostilities has not brought immediate relief to the most vulnerable population, who continue to face displacement, massive destruction and a lack of access to basic services.

In the hours following the announcement, Action Against Hunger has observed very intense population movement with diverse patterns of mobility.

“Many people are trying to return to their homes, others are trying to return just to check on the condition of their homes, and others are unable to do so or decide to wait for fear of further displacement,” says Sonia Ben Salem, Action Against Hunger’s advocacy coordinator in Lebanon.

Currently, there are already more than 1,200,000 displaced people in Lebanon, including 390,000 children.
