'Day by day': Trade bans, inflation send food prices soaring

FILE - Somalis who fled drought-stricken areas receive charitable food donations from city residents after arriving at a makeshift camp for the displaced on the outskirts of Mogadishu, Somalia on June 30, 2022. Food prices accounted for about 60% of last year’s increase in headline inflation in the Middle East and North Africa, with the exception of oil-producing Gulf countries. In Somalia, where 2.7 million people cannot meet their daily food requirements and where children are dying of famine, sugar is a source of energy and fuel. In May, a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of sugar cost around the equivalent of 72 cents in the capital, Mogadishu. (AP Photo/Farah Abdi Warsameh, File)
