This marks a significant decline compared to the period before the Israel–Hezbollah conflict reignited on March 2, when an estimated 874,000 people were facing acute food insecurity. The report attributes this decline to the combined impacts of conflict, displacement, and economic pressures. It warns that acute food insecurity will worsen without timely and sustained humanitarian and livelihood support.
Although a ceasefire was reached on April 16, both Israel and Hezbollah have continued to launch attacks. Israel has established a security buffer zone in southern Lebanon and warned residents not to return yet.
