Sudan: Bread prices soar in Omdurman amid flour crisis

In Omdurman, rising flour prices and disrupted supplies are making bread less affordable for families in war-ravaged Sudan. Abeer Mohamed says loaves have become smaller and fewer, forcing households to cut back on purchases. Baker Mohamed El Fateh says many bakeries have closed because flour is unavailable and suppliers cannot meet demand. In Blue Nile State, authorities have allowed bakeries to sell two loaves for 1,000 Sudanese pounds, about $1.70, as production costs continue to rise.
