What is the goal about?
End hunger and ensure that everyone has access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food, in particular the poor.
How does that relate to the Lebanon context?
In Lebanon, sufficient and good food is available, but it is not always accessible for everyone. Therefore, people in Lebanon who struggle to make ends meet tend to consume food products that have low nutritional value.
Did you know… …that 16.5% of children under 5 years old in Lebanon are stunted, meaning they are not developing properly due to malnutrition? …that about 11% of Lebanese, 93% of Syrian refugees, 62% of Palestine refugees in Lebanon, and 94% of Palestine refugees from Syria cannot meet their basic food needs?
