Lebanese 25-year-old Amina Muhammad Ali is pregnant, and barely able to eat. Her Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measured just 210mm—an indication of moderate acute malnutrition.

When the team of Action Against Hunger visited 14 month old Alaa, his Mid-Upper Arm Circumference was within normal range, but dangerously close to malnutrition.

Action Against Hunger, funded by the Syria Humanitarian Fund (SHF), has provided cash assistance to families in Syria who have members with disabilities. Samaher’s family was one of them.

By the end of September, almost 2,000 children and women affected by malnutrition were under treatment in Aleppo.

Today’s announcement of a ceasefire agreement offers a long-awaited flicker of respite. Action Against Hunger stresses the urgency of transforming this lifesaving opportunity into a permanent ceasefire.

Action Against Hunger today presented an analysis in Madrid on the impact of two years of displacement, violence, and conflict on hunger in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today marks one year since the escalation of hostilities erupted across Lebanon in September 2024, following almost a year of violence on the southern border that began on October 8, 2023.

Action Against Hunger shares with deep sadness the news of the tragic killing of our former colleague, Mustafa Walid Mohammed Al Ejla, in the Gaza Strip.

Since June of this year alone, the organisation has suffered three serious incidents that have put the lives of its humanitarian staff in Gaza and the West Bank at risk.

The planned military incursion in Gaza City threatens devastating consequences for a population already weakened by hunger, loss, and repeated displacement.

On August 24th, an Action Against Hunger staff member was seriously injured by masked settlers while tending to his land with family in Hebron Governorate. The attack resulted in hospitalization and extensive property damage. 

At least 150,000 people remain without running water across the South of Lebanon since the beginning of the conflict in Lebanon in October 2023, according to a report from Action Against Hunger and Insecurity Insight.
