Ukraine war food crisis hits Arab world markets, right at Ramadan
For Fadhila Khalfawi, it has been a Ramadan full of surprises.
On the first day of the holy month, the Tunis resident spent an hour and a half waiting in a bakery line to grab the last baguette. On the second day, there was no bread to be found.
Unable to find semolina pastry dough or afford eggs, she had to cut out brik – the fried pastry that has long been a staple on every Tunisian iftar table.
She now breaks her daylong fast with a solitary soup and salad.
“I don’t really know a lot about war, but from what I can see, this war is taking place in Ukraine, but its impacts are being felt in Tunisia,” Ms. Khalfawi
