Lebanon: m-VAM Vulnerability and Food Security Assessment (September - October 2020)
Format
Highlights
• A slight improvement in terms of access to food and other basic needs is observed in September – October 2020 (36 percent of households faced access challenges versus 40 percent in July – August 2020). Similar improvements were registered with regard to households experiencing food shortages (49 percent versus 55 percent previously). This could be due to the increase in the value of the Lebanese Pound against the US Dollar in September – October versus the lowest ever rate registered in July 2020. This helped limit inflation during those months, as fewer households reported high prices as an access challenge.
