OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
As of the end of April, nearly 970,500 internally displaced people (IDPs) have returned home, while 90,000 remain displaced, including 994 in collective shelters. Meanwhile, arrivals of Syrians fleeing from the coastal areas in Syria into North Lebanon continue, with 35,500 newly registered by the Disaster Risk Management Unit as of 30 April, many sheltering in mosques, community halls, or with vulnerable families. Following Israel’s partial withdrawal from South Lebanon, while maintaining positions in five border areas, ceasefire violations persist, underscoring the fragility of the situation.
The sixth IPC Acute Food Insecurity Analysis in Lebanon shows a decline in food insecurity, nearing pre-war levels. 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. Despite this slight improvement due to the reduction in displacement, the surge in food assistance, and an emerging market recovery; conflict aftershocks, the general level of economic stagnation, inflation, and funding gaps still threaten Lebanon’s fragile food security.
