OPERATIONAL CONTEXT
Following Israel’s partial withdrawal from South Lebanon, while maintaining positions in five border areas, ceasefire violations persist. As of the end of May, nearly 981,500 internally displaced people (IDPs) have returned home, while 82,700 remain displaced, including 914 in collective shelters. Meanwhile, 39,800 Syrians fleeing Syria’s coastal areas arrived in North Lebanon, many seeking refuge in mosques, community halls, or with vulnerable families.
The sixth IPC Acute Food Insecurity Analysis in Lebanon shows that food insecurity conditions are nearing pre-conflict levels. Between April and June 2025, 1.17 million people (21 percent of the population) are facing acute food insecurity, down from the 1.65 million (30 percent) projection between December 2024 and March 2025. This shift is primarily linked to reduced displacement, a temporary surge in food assistance, and an emerging market recovery. However, conflict aftershocks, economic stagnation, inflation, and widening funding gaps continue to threaten Lebanon’s fragile food security. As a result, food insecurity is projected to rise again by July 2025, affecting 1.24 million people (23 percent of the population).
