A five-day cold spell, with temperatures falling below minus two degrees Celsius, caused widespread damage to farms in the Bekaa. The potato crop lost more than 30% of its expected production—around 15,000 tonnes. A range of other crops were also damaged, including cucumbers, zucchini, cauliflower, cabbage and tomatoes. The volume received by the Qab Elias market fell to around 10 tonnes a day, a drop of nearly 90%. Agricultural officials warned of supply shortages and rising prices, and called for compensation for affected farmers and the establishment of an emergency fund.
