Bread price soars as Sudan faces flour shortage

Residents in Omdurman, Sudan, are struggling to afford basic food as prices soar amid the ongoing war and high inflation.

Flour shortages have forced many bakeries to close and bread prices have risen. Meanwhile the families can’t afford to buy meat and maintain nutritious diets. With poverty affecting an estimated 80 percent of the population, economic analysts have called for measures to curb gold smuggling and use gold revenues to help stabilize the national currency.
