Baking TroublesDescription
An earthquake shook Pakistan a few days ago. More than 200 people died and 15,000 were left homeless.
The quake comes at a bad time for Pakistan, a country struggling with Al Qaeda and Taliban forces on its border. And the global economic crisis has affected everyone in the country. Food prices were rising even before the financial crash.
Higher prices aren’t just affecting consumers, they're also having an impact on those who make food for a living. Will Everett reports from Peshawar, Pakistan.
