Lebanon has 32,000 tonnes of flour in addition to 110,000 tonnes that has arrived or will arrive in the coming two weeks, the economy minister said on Wednesday.

The World Food Programme is also sending 17,000 tonnes of flour as a first batch of a 50,000-tonne supply plan.“We don’t have a stock crisis or a bread crisis!” Nehme tweeted.

A Reuters report on Friday found the Lebanese government, unlike many wheat import dependent nations, had not kept a strategic stockpile of wheat and all the private stocks of the grain held in the Beirut grain silo at the port were destroyed in the blast that rocked the city on Aug 4. Nehme said on Friday his ministry had planned to create a government reserve of 40,000 tonnes of wheat but those plans had not materialised ahead of the blast.

The Lebanese government resigned on Monday but President Michel Aoun asked the government to stay in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed.Our Standards:

Flour can be delivered. What about the infrastructure and homes. NGO's will deliver food but the country is deeply in trouble.

Lebanon needs a headstrong leader to lead the country of its current situation both financially & socially. A leader who keeps country first and everything including himself secondary. Lebanon needs an ImranKhanPTI.

Flour? Let them eat cake.

UNGA

Should have been storing the flour NOT the Ammonium Nitrate, feel bad for the victims for your bad decisions

What more do you need?

Got any yeast?

They have 150,000 rockets 🚀? Maybe they can trade them for food? 🤔

Rewrite headline.

Coherent sentences are gone from Reuters too now?

Bet he has more than that in his own companies stock pile

That means that we have a stock that can last for years but him the mafia he belongs to, stoke the remaining and left us with 4 months size stock

The entire planet has only less than 60 days of grains.

weird flex, but ok!
