The humanitarian situation in Syria remains unstable after the collapse of the Bashar Al-Assad regime, the United Nations has said.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that hospitals across Syria are overwhelmed with many suffering from psychological stress, and children showing signs of shock.
In several cities, such as the capital Damascus, there have been reports of food shortages. Since the beginning of the armed opposition forces’ attack, the price of bread in cities such as Idlib and Aleppo has increased by 900 per cent…
Don’t worry, our Al-Qaeda guy will fix it after Israel and Turkey decide who gets what.
“liberation” i dont think its liberation to have bread prices rise by 900%.
It could be considered “fine” if it were only temporary but most likely their real incomes will continue to stagnate for years, decades.
There won’t be any significant recovery. Israel and Turkey are taking their territory, reducing their real resources. The state is completely non-functional and cannot mobilize whatever local resources are available.
The liberation from Syria having any form of government.
Escape From Syria
Syria is gonna get carved and be left a rump state ruled by comprador cliques. It will take decades to get any semblance of peace and even more just to reach state from before the war started. Few entire generations of people wasted and sacrificed to stonks line. In the meantime libs are shrugging, claiming lesser evil compared to Assad and still searching for the mythical USA intervention beneficial for the intervened country. They are sure it will be next time, next country, they promise.
Did the Canadian Weston family start selling bread in Syria?
Oof.
Looaf
Did all the sanctions get lifted in exchange for humanitarian aid?
I am sure running a whole ass country takes a different skill set than overthrowing the government. I am amazed there is bread to sell.
I’m guessing it’s just because there was fighting again and people weren’t expecting it to end so quickly, and started hoarding.
The stores don’t have to price gouge.
