ALEPPO, Syria — Abu Mohammed al-Golani, the leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has pledged to provide $3 million to subsidize bread after HTS-controlled Idlib experienced a severe bread crisis and a general economic crisis, following the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the US dollar.
The population in Idlib governorate, northwest Syria, is suffering under an unprecedented rise in prices. People could no longer afford to buy bread; some resorted to Tannour bread, which is less expensive than bakery bread.
