According to Al Jazeera's live updates, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture issued a joint statement on Wednesday warning that over 1 million people in Lebanon are facing crisis-level or worse acute food insecurity, and called for urgent action. The statement projects that this figure could rise to 1.15 million by mid-2027. The 1.15 million figure is a projection rather than a currently confirmed headcount, and the aforementioned severity levels should not be directly characterized as an ongoing famine.
