00:00Bread and meat are becoming unaffordable for families in Sudan.
00:04In Amdurman, soaring prices are pushing basic food beyond people's reach.
00:09In Bluenau state, authorities have approved two loaves of bread for 1,000 Sudanese pounds,
00:15but rising flour costs and alleged violations of price controls are deepening the crisis.
00:23Flour has become expensive, the size and quantity of bread itself has reduced, so we can't afford
00:29the same amount as before. If we used to rely on bread all day long, we can no longer even
00:34do that.
00:36Soaring flour and oil costs are squeezing bakeries across several states,
00:42forcing some to shut down as production becomes increasingly unaffordable.
00:49Most bakeries are currently closed because there is no flour in the market.
00:53Currently, all the suppliers have no flour.
00:56You could wait a whole day or two at the distribution centre, only to return empty-handed.
01:02Khartoum has also been hard hit by the worsening flour shortage,
01:07but in Al Jazeera, a fresh harvest is bringing relief, driving down maize and crop prices.
