The impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on Egypt is still dominating coverage in the foreign press. Reuters has a feature looking at everyday Egyptians affected by rising bread prices, and The Conversation delves into the policy options available for Egypt to mitigate the crisis. Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal quotes a food security expert as saying that our “relatively diversified food basket” and strategic wheat reserves can help us cope with wheat shortages in the near term.

Also getting coverage: Tensions are palpable among Russians and Ukrainians stranded together in Egypt’s Red Sea resorts, the New York Times writes. The Tourism Ministry has been making an effort to support Russians and Ukrainians who were unable to return to their homes after the war broke out, requiring hotels to extend their stays, allowing tourists to stay at three-star hotels at no charge, and most recently, exempting Russian tourists from paying visa overstay fines. Around 8k of the 20k stranded Ukrainians have been flown back to Europe, according to a statement from the Ukrainian embassy in Egypt.
