(EQTSAD)- Bread bakeries of Latakia countryside adjacent to Turkish borders witness a major crowding by villages’ locals and displaced families to get bread following breakdown of one of the bakeries and stop of production along lack of diesel which runs the bakery and flour material, the main material in bread production.
Activist Ammar Ibrahim told Eqtsad, there are two bread bakeries in Latakia countryside. One of them works daily while the other stopped working either because of lack of flour or diesel or due to a break down in machinery inside the bakery itself or due to a break down in power generators. These factors affect people’s securing their needs of bread in these areas.
According to Ammar, the two bakeries produce bread for thousands of local population and displaced families from Kurds mountain villages and Turkmen. The villages which have been occupied by regime recently.
In addition to the families who fled to Latakia countryside adjacent to Turkish borders coming from Jisr al-Shughoor and villages in Idlib western countryside due to Russian and regime air strikes on their areas. Also, there are the tents spread on the border line. These all contribute to the insufficiency of the bread provided by the two only working factories.
The two bakeries work for 14 hours and produce around 3000 bread bundle daily. This comes in conjunction with increase of price of bread bundle to reach 200 SP from the same bakeries.
The bread production in Latakia countryside bakeries does not commensurate with the increased population in the area due to continuous displacement to the areas and the population density in the tents on the borders.
Three additional camps are being set to host the big influx of refugees, Ammar added.
Ammar said the economic situation of the refugees is very tragic since most of them live in the camps on what the relief organization working in Latakia offer to them amid bombardments of these camps and renewal of military operations in close Latakia countryside every now and then.
