As of December, Lebanon is facing a rapidly escalating outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) among cattle. Anera moved quickly to support the Ministry of Agriculture’s emergency response plan, and support farmers through cash assistance.
This enabled farmers to immediately access biosecurity and outbreak-prevention kits and directly addressing the root cause of transmission by helping farmers disinfect equipment, hands, and farm environments, effectively breaking the chain of spread between farms.
As part of these efforts, the ministry of agriculture reported that 19,972 cattle were vaccinated nationwide in the second wave as of January 29, 2026. These vaccinations help slow the transmission of the virus, protect healthy herds and ensure that farmers can continue producing milk, safeguarding both their livelihoods and food security.
