    1 | tasteandflavors.com 2 | tasteandflavors.com RESTAURANTS DESERVE A TROPHY In the F&B industry, the future of restaurants is under a very real threat. Restaurants and cafés have been linked to the spread of Covid-19, with some findings suggesting that the movement of people in and out of venues could account for the majority of infections. Most restaurants quickly responded to this news, rising to yet another challenge by adapting their operations, reducing their seating and opening hours, and implementing hygiene measures. The virus has taken a heavy toll on outlets, leaving them struggling to pay what they owe, from taxes to running costs. The year 2020 will undoubtedly be one of the most difficult that we’ve had to endure in our lifetime, but social interaction and the opportunity to visit a physical space are still of utmost importance to many, being a key part of human nature. Restaurants who found the courage to continue offering their CATERING services, while showing CONCERN and CARE for their loyal customers deserve a TROPHY.

Going beyond the mere analysis of poverty from an income perspective, this unique study succeeded in drawing the various typologies of poverty in Lebanon, distin- guishing between the rural and urban settings, Lebanese and non-Lebanese citizens. Increased inequalities and disparities may lead to negative social, economic, and political consequences that may have a destabilizing impact on societies. Consequently, the findings of the report reconfirm the urgency for appropriate socioeconomic policies, strategies, and programs that re- Poverty spond to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those who are challenged by tenure insecurity and poor housing conditions in informal urban areas. Dania Rifai, UN-Habitat Lebanon, Programme Manager This is a timely contribution to the literature on poverty in Lebanon. Poverty research, and the subject of poverty itself, are fairly recent in Lebanon and date back to late 1990s, an indicator of the hitherto paradigm that poverty is non- existent in the country. Here, this volume shows the wide spectrum of those marginalized in Lebanon, groups that are unheard of or often seen as some- Rupen Das • Julie Davidson • one else’s malaise.
