Provide Lebanese People With Food
Help Lebanon
The food crisis in Lebanon is not just the result of the war in Ukraine. The country’s economy had been facing several challenges for decades. The condition of ports in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, has been weak since the devastating explosion of 2020, which caused immense destruction to the city’s buildings and infrastructure and resulted in the displacement of thousands of people. At the time of the explosion, Lebanon, like the rest of the world, was dealing with the Covid19 pandemic, which killed more than 10,000 people. The government declared a state of emergency and announced multiple lockdowns that further exacerbated the already weak economy. By the time the country started to recover from the pandemic and the explosion, the war in Ukraine brought it right back to its knees.
