Several countries, including Saudi Arabia and Egypt, have cut ties with Qatar, accusing it of funding extremists in the Gulf region.
The row, the biggest diplomatic crisis in the Persian Gulf since the 1991 US-led war against Iraq, had prompted shoppers in Doha panic buying food and other supplies. It comes after Saudi Arabia closed its land border and airspace.
Qatar relies heavily on importing food from Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia. In response queues have formed in the Carrefour supermarket in Doha’s City Center mall. Shoppers are putting piles of essentials, such as milk and rice, in their trollies.
