Lebanon aids agriculture to respond to Israeli attacks
Agriculture in Lebanon faces significant challenges due to Israeli attacks that have caused widespread damage to land and agricultural infrastructure. The physical damages amount to approximately $118 million, with production losses estimated at around $586 million. About 56,264 hectares of agricultural land have been affected, and over 76% of affected farmers have been displaced. The Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture aims to support the sector through damage assessment, land and infrastructure rehabilitation, and providing necessary supplies to farmers. Officials emphasized that the sector's recovery requires a government decision and financial allocations, relying also on international efforts and national initiatives to ensure the sustainability of agriculture and food security. Focus is placed on protecting production and increasing local output in line with available water resources and land, while considering environmental risks resulting from attacks and fires.
