Amidst the feelings of sadness and pain experienced by the Jenin governorate as it received the blessed month of Ramadan , with the farewell of 35 martyrs and dozens of wounded and many times more among the detainees, the grieving woman is still trying desperately to restore the atmosphere of normal life, especially in light of the high rates of unemployment and poverty, and the deterioration of the living conditions of the majority of society's segments.

Since the beginning of the month of fasting, the picture appears painful and difficult in the homes of the families of the martyrs who have recently ascended, and with sadness and pain, the mother of the martyr Jamil Al-Amouri from Jenin camp said, "How do we rejoice in Ramadan, and the most precious loved ones, the Israeli deprived us of them, on the first day we all cried and we were unable to eat a table Breakfast, I did not and will not understand my life without the beloved of my heart and my life is beautiful, whom they killed in cold blood.

As for the poet Israa Abboushi, she told Al-Quds.com: “Unfortunately, a painful and difficult atmosphere prevails in the current Ramadan, and in the face of the injustice and arrogance of the occupation and its crimes. It is lonely, despite the difficult economic situation, and despite the anticipation of repeated incursions, as not a week passes that we live quietly, and despite the devastation in the educational process and the lack of security and law, the overwhelming character of the month of Ramadan this year is the departure of its best youth.

In conversations with Al-Quds.com, during her tour of the streets of Jenin, the people affirmed the different conditions and conditions, and the historical researcher Moufid Jalghoum says, "We used to receive the month of Ramadan every year, with joy, joy and many preparations, but the situation this year is different from previous years. For several reasons, the most important of which is the Israeli and the incursions of its army, settlers, and special forces into the areas of the West Bank, and the resulting large increase in the number of martyrs and wounded, and attacks on the property of Palestinian citizens, which made the joy of celebrating the advent of Ramadan unattainable.

He added: "Also, the financial hardship that the National Authority has been going through for more than a year, and the consequent inability to pay a full salary to employees for several months, which cast a shadow on the purchasing power of the average Palestinian citizen who used to decorate his house with various types of Decorations, as well as other equipment, especially food.

Before the month of Ramadan, prices were normal, but they quickly changed and rose dramatically, as in the meat sector, which is considered one of the most important equipment for breakfast tables. However, merchant Tamer Naji from the city of Jenin, who works with his father who owns the Al-Aqsa butchery, explained that the reason for the rise is from Sources of import and distribution, after the prices of calves and cattle have risen, and the distributor has no power over the price. Despite this, and in appreciation of the conditions of the citizens, we sold a kilo of veal for 54 shekels, and the citizens must be relieved so that everyone can buy their basic needs, as we are facing great economic and political pressures We hope that all problems will be resolved and that Ramadan will be good for us.” He said.

Kamal Zaidan, the owner of the epic of glory, confirms this, explaining that the distributors have nothing to do with the rise, and he said: "The companies, importers and distributors are the ones who control the prices that rose with the advent of the blessed month."

And the high prices affected the prices of chicken, whose price jumped rapidly, along with other materials such as rice, flour, oil, etc., and the owner of the chicken farm, Basil Merhi, said: “We continued to sell at the same normal prices until the quantities were spent, and they quickly increased from the sources of supply, and this affected rates Selling and paying citizens to buy turkey meat and others, although it also increased.”

The increase affected all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and citizen Latifa Hussein said: "The prices are very expensive, and I can only buy a few of our needs, and this is a great injustice to us, and from the first day I can only buy the basic needs."

The female citizen, who supports a family of 7, added, "We did not prepare for Ramadan, as we and many other people did in other years. There is no liquidity and the labor force has no work, and all kinds of vegetables are expensive."

As for the citizen, Asmaa Taher, she said: "Even the things necessary for Ramadan, I cannot buy them because of the exorbitant price that includes everything. We have a family of 5, including a sick child, and my husband has been unemployed for months, and I do not know how I will manage my family's affairs."
