00:00Libyans gathered around a makeshift bakery in Benghazi, waiting to buy the country's
00:07famed Tanor bread, a tradition during the fasting month of Ramadan. Libyan baker Awad
00:13al-Hadiri says he works for longer hours during the holy month to serve more customers who
00:18eat it during Iftar. Tanor is a type of a flatbread that is commonly consumed by Libyans,
00:25especially in Ramadan, and is sometimes made of whole-wheat flour, which makes it a healthy
00:31option for fasting Libyans. Earlier, villagers used to bake the bread using traditional ovens,
00:37which is also energy-saving in times of crisis. Loaves of the bread are stuck to the sides
00:42of a traditional oven fueled by coal. One loaf of Tanor bread is sold for 5 Libyan dinars,
00:49or $1.04.
