The Federation of Bakeries and Ovens in Lebanon has warned of a "loaf crisis" as of next week, due to the loss of diesel fuel, as some bakeries will be forced to stop working after their diesel reserves run out.

The Union said in a press statement: “The Oil Directorate delivered on Monday a quantity of this substance that is not enough for more than a week, but during the Eid al-Adha holiday, no quantity was delivered, while the Oil Directorate announced that it had run out of this substance, knowing that diesel is available on the black market. At a price of 140 thousand pounds per plate.
