In many militarily controlled govt's such as in Egypt, I can see why these poorer people are starving. Something as simply made as balady bread (their life saving staple) shouldn't be so scarce to get and nobody should have to die from lack of this easy to make bread. I've read that due to farmland being turned into grain for animals and corn for bio fuel, people will starve.

Look at this recipe for balady bread:
1) 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour.
2) 7 oz. water.
3) 1/2 tsp. salt.
4) 1/4 oz. Dry Yeast.

1) Put flour and salt in an oversized bowl.
2) Mix Dry Yeast with the water.
3) Slowly add water.
4) Take turns kneading the dough.
5) Spread flour on a clean, flat surface.
6) Roll dough into small balls.
7) Form balls into flat round shapes or triangles.
8) Cover with a cloth for one to two hours only.

In one to two hours:
Bake bread on a greased sheet for 30 minutes at 350 Degree heat.
