Despite the ceasefire announced on 17 April, the humanitarian situation in Lebanon remained highly unstable during the reporting period. Hostilities continued across southern Lebanon, accompanied by renewed displacement orders affecting multiple localities, further undermining civilian protection and prospects for safe returns.

Despite the announcement of the ceasefire as of 17 April, the humanitarian situation in Lebanon remained highly unstable during the reporting period, with continued insecurity forcing further population displacements, humanitarian access challenges, and undermining prospects for safe returns.

Humanitarian food assistance remains a critical source of food for households in Lebanon. However, assistance is expected to decline sharply starting in June, with no confirmed funding for several key emergency programs beyond May.

The humanitarian situation in Lebanon remained fragile and volatile, with developments during the reporting period further undermining prospects for civilian protection, safe and sustained returns, and unimpeded humanitarian access.

Lebanon continues to face a protracted crisis marked by economic instability, recurrent displacement, and the compounded impacts of conflict and climate-related shocks.

Hostilities across Lebanon continue to intensify, with sustained airstrikes reported in multiple locations in the South.

Semmaqiyeh village, nestled between the Al-Kabir and Al-Ostuene rivers in North Akkar, has long suffered from recurrent flooding that devastates agricultural lands, isolates communities, and undermines livelihoods.

Lebanon has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by long, hot summers and mild, wet winters. On average, around 70 percent of the annual rainfall occur between November and March, typically through short, intense storms (MoE/UNDP/GEF, 2016).

Between April and June 2025, 1.17 million people (21 percent of the population) are projected to face acute food insecurity, down from 1.65 million (30 percent) in March 2025.

918,769 people displaced within Lebanon back in their cadaster of origin while 115,234 people remain displaced outside their cadaster of origin as of 12 February.

With the escalation of the conflict in September 2024, disruptions to the local economy such as trade, tourism and agricultural production, displacement and limited humanitarian access have emerged a significant compounding factor affecting directly, or indirectly food insecurity of most Lebanese and refugees in the country.

FEWS NET assesses the population in need of urgent humanitarian food assistance to be 2.0-2.5 million people, with needs expected to increase through May as the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) grows.
