Pakistan wheat Crisis
Currently, Pakistan is experiencing one of the greatest food crises in recent memory. According to local media sources, there is a scarcity of wheat grain in several sections of the country. In several areas, including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan provinces, where the current prices are as high as PKR 3,000 per bag (1 Pakistani Rupee equals 0.36 Indian Rupee), there has been a severe scarcity of wheat flour since last week.
Social media sites have seen a number of videos of individuals clashing over wheat bags and agitating for food in the streets. To prevent conflicts with recipients, armed guards may be seen accompanying tiny trucks filled with wheat and flour.
