The only bakery in the besieged Rukban camp stopped operating on January 21 after running short of flour.

The camp, which is home to around 8,000 internally displaced Syrians, has been under siege by the Syrian regime and its allies since 2019, forcing residents to survive off of smuggled products.

According to residents, regime checkpoints recently blocked merchants from bringing flour to the camp.
