Key takeaway Ongoing insecurity and limited income-earning opportunities are contributing factors.
Crisis outcomes are expected to continue in several areas, including South, Beirut, and parts of North and Mount Lebanon, through January. Ongoing insecurity and limited income-earning opportunities are contributing factors. Despite functional markets, household food access remains constrained.
Food prices are relatively stable due to exchange rate stability and adequate imports, but they are still elevated. Household purchasing power is weak, particularly for poor households, displaced persons, and refugees, due to low incomes and high living costs. Further details on the situation are available from ReliefWeb.
