TO GO WITH AFP WORLD INFLATION SERIES: An Egyptian vendor carries a rack of bread in the Nile Delta city of Mahala, 140 kms north of Cairo, on April 6, 2008. Egypt is in the grip of a serious bread crisis brought on by a combination of the rising cost of wheat on world markets and sky-rocketing inflation. The price of bread has increased fivefold in private bakeries, creating panic in state-run bakeries that the staple may run out. Scuffles in bread queues are a daily occurrence, turning in recent weeks into violent clashes, leaving at least seven people dead, according to police.
