Jerusalem markets suffer from recession due to occupation measures. Unlike the months of Ramadan in previous years, the markets of Jerusalem this Ramadan are almost empty of people, causing them to stagnate.
These markets, which are usually considered a destination for visitors to the city and its people, this time seemed forgotten and no one knew anything about them. The owner of one of the shops in the Old City said that the commercial situation is extremely bad due to the occupation’s restrictions and the inspection of those coming and going.
