A fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and ​Iran showed further strain on Friday, a day before ​they are expected to negotiate in Pakistan, as Washington ⁠accused Tehran of breaching promises on the Strait of ​Hormuz and Israel struck Lebanon with attacks that Iran has ​claimed violate the truce.

“What we’re witnessing is not just a displacement crisis; it is rapidly becoming a food security crisis,” said World Food ​Programme country director Allison Oman, speaking via video link ​from Beirut.

She warned that food was becoming increasingly unaffordable due to rising ‌food ⁠prices and rising demand among displaced families.

Lebanon faces a two-layered crisis, in which some markets have fully collapsed - especially in the south, where more than 80% of markets are no ​longer functioning - ​while those in ⁠Beirut are under increasing strain, Oman said.

Many traders are reporting less than one week of ​essential food stocks remaining, she added.

The ability ​to deliver ⁠food aid into hard-to-reach areas in the south, which has faced heavy bombardment by Israeli airstrikes since March 2, was ⁠becoming ​increasingly difficult.

A WFP convoy that entered ​the south this week took over 15 hours, when it normally should have ​taken hours.
