Bakery Union Declares Emergency
The Federation of Bakery and Oven Unions in Lebanon warned that rising prices of wheat, flour, fuel, energy, and transportation threaten the bakery sector and citizens, especially the poor, amid ongoing repercussions of the economic crisis and the war on Lebanon since October of last year. It emphasized that the increased costs of basic materials have led to higher prices for "Maghaza" bread and called on the government to take urgent measures by declaring a state of economic and social emergency and expanding social safety nets to support the most vulnerable groups, rather than placing the burden solely on bakeries. It also underlined that protecting bread is a national responsibility and stressed that now is the time for serious action before the crisis worsens.
