Lebanon is facing a food security crisis due to Israel’s offensive in Lebanon which has disrupted supplies of goods and pushed up prices, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday.

A fragile two-day-old ceasefire has halted the campaign of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, but it has not so far calmed the situation in Lebanon, where Israel continues to pound the country — claiming to target the militant group, Hezbollah.

The director of Al Zahraa hospital, which is considered one of the main hospitals in Beirut, said the facility had been under pressure following the strike, with a large number of wounded arriving and emergency reserves being used rapidly. Lebanon’s Health Ministry said the death toll since March 2 had risen to 1,888 dead and more than 6,000 wounded.

"Israel’s brutality does not distinguish between one civilian and another, nor between Muslim and Christian, in this country. We must all stand together to confront this barbarity and this aggression," Tyre resident Hassan Saleh said. 

On Friday, mourners in Tyre attended the funeral of family members killed a day earlier in an Israeli strike on Abbasiyeh, which killed seven people total, according to the Lebanese state news agency NNA.
