Description
Sri Lankans queue up outside shops selling essentials as the country declared a state of emergency over food shortages, with private banks running out of foreign exchange to finance imports.
The country is suffering a hard-hitting economic crisis and President Gotabaya Rajapaksa said he ordered emergency regulations to counter the hoarding of sugar, rice and other essential foods.
