The impact of the ongoing conflict in Lebanon

In this rapid geospatial analysis, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) utilized satellite imagery to assess the potential impact of the escalation of conflict in Lebanon on agricultural land and livelihoods, and to identify the areas most affected. As the conflict has disrupted agricultural production, understanding these possible impacts is crucial to identify the anticipated consequences to the sector and those that rely on it. This Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) StoryMap produced with the FAO Representation in Lebanon, provides a broad overview of the initial picture of the possible impact of the conflict on agriculture and implications for food security. The objective of this preliminary assessment is to help focus immediate response efforts and subsequent geospatial and field assessment work in Lebanon.
