Behind the scenes of destruction are tales of bravery and humanity. I was honoured to speak with some of the humanitarian responders and volunteers working day and night to meet a seemingly endless stream of needs. They embody the true spirit of Lebanon.

Thousands of people are displaced by this conflict every day.
This exacerbates an already dire situation in Lebanon, where nearly half the population is food insecure.
The country is also home to over 1.5 million Syrian refugees who now face additional hardships.

As WFP scales up to reach 1 million people across
#Lebanon
, it is crucial that we have access to all major entry points into the country.
Every access point—by land, sea, and air—plays a critical role in helping WFP to transport food supplies & alleviate human suffering.

#Lebanon
: WFP has been providing assistance from day one of the crisis.
Further escalation of the conflict this weekend underscores the need for urgent humanitarian response.
We call on the international community to mobilize resources & support for these critical operations.
Just visited a school hosting 1500 exhausted & terrified displaced people who fled their neighborhoods under missile fire, leaving everything behind after a horrific night in
#Beirut
. Right now, WFP & our partners on the ground are providing hot meals & crucial support.
