High food prices and supply disruptions triggered by the Russia-Ukraine war are hitting Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries like Egypt, Sudan, and Yemen hard, partly due their heavy dependence on wheat imports. But in the region, Lebanon — already in the midst of one of the world’s worst economic collapses since the 1850s — is uniquely vulnerable to food security impacts from the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
