Afghan labors carry sacks of food at a market in Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, April 22, 2008. Afghanistan has allocated US$50 million (euro31.4 million) to buy food from neighboring countries, an official said Tuesday, amid skyrocketing prices of food staples like wheat. Panicked Afghans have rushed to shops in recent days to purchase rice, flour and cooking oil. In one shop in Kabul, 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of flour was US$1 (euro0.63) on Tuesday, up from 80 U.S. cents (euro0.50) on Sunday. (AP) |
