# Overall Information

## How does WFP identify and select the families who will receive assistance?

WFP prioritizes food assistance for families determined to be most economically vulnerable. The result is determined by a statistical model that combines multiple socio-economic. Families that will no longer receive monthly assistance in 2026 may still qualify to receive assistance in the future if more funds become available.

## Who is providing the in-kind food assistance to Lebanese households? Will I still receive the same assistance from the same Cooperating Partners?

WFP provides in-kind food assistance through its Cooperating Partners. However, some cooperating partners may change in 2026. If any changes are made, WFP will be notifying households via SMS.

## What is the frequency of food ration distributions?

The in-kind food assistance distributions normally take place on a monthly basis, subject to the availability of funds and food parcels. In case of any interruption, households will be informed via SMS.

## What are the commodities within the food parcel?

WFP will introduce a revised B2 food basket starting in February 2026. The updated basket provides 1,229 kilocalories per day for a household of two, representing approximately 58.5% of the average daily caloric requirement, and consists of ten food commodities. As an additional top-up, WFP has started distributing rice to all households alongside the revised B2 parcel.

Small households receive 1 parcel, medium households receive 2 parcels, large households receive 3 parcels. Please see below for the weight of each commodity in the B2 parcel along with the entitlement.
