tayyar.org – Fresh alert on bread prices
Lebanon is facing a severe food crisis due to rising prices of wheat and flour, stemming from increased production costs resulting from higher global oil and fuel prices, and the destruction of wheat stocks caused by the Beirut port explosion. The Union of Bakery and Mill Workers' Unions warned that this situation threatens to lead to soaring bread prices that exceed the purchasing power of the poorest groups. They called on the government to declare an economic and social emergency, to provide limited and transparent support to those in need, and to expand the social safety net to prevent the crisis from worsening.
