The capital of El Gedaref state has witnessed a severe bread shortage since Monday. A resident told Radio Dabanga that people must queue for hours at bakeries hoping to get some bread.
Workers attributed the crisis to non-provision of the bakeries with quotas of flour prescribed by economic security.
