Between the anvil of cautious calm and close stability and the hammer of living conditions…the province of Idlib starts to suffer from lack of bread and flour and its inhabitants explain the reasons

Idlib Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: as soon as Idlib gets out off the bottleneck, it returns to suffer from new crises, from security and military crises to humanitarian crises that threaten the living of millions of citizens of the residents of Idlib province and of those who have been displaced to it, where the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from a number of reliable sources, that after the crossing points with the regime’s controlled areas had been closed, the humanitarian suffering started as a result of the lack of flour, and decreasing the stored reserve, in the bread furnace and mills in the province, and workers in this field confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the suffering was aggravated along with the rise of the price of flour and the ingredients needed in the manufacture of bread, and the Syrian Observatory learned that relief organizations operating in Idlib province and the Syrian North, are the body that contracts with the bread furnace, for subsidizing them and the bread, in order to keep its price stable, but the reliable sources confirmed to the Syrian Observatory that the price of flour a large portion of which used to be delivered via the border crossing with Turkey, Bab Al-Hawa, which used to be controlled by Turkey due to the latter’s domination over the most of contracts of the organizations operating in the Syrian North, has raised, as a result of the

fall of Turkish Lira sharply against dollar, which pushed the importers of flour to raise flour prices and lift the subsidization provided for the bread furnace, which composes about 20% of the flour presented to the Syrian North, which doubled the price of bread, and also caused new humanitarian and living crises against the citizens in Idlib of its residents or those who have been displaced to it.
