The head of the Consumer Protection Association in the northern West Bank , Dr. Fayhaa Bahsh , there is a clear increase in the prices of clothes for the holiday , by at least 20% compared to the previous year, while she pointed out that the next week will witness a rise in the prices of fruits with the approach of the holiday, as in every year.

Al-Bahsh told Al-Quds.com: "The prices of clothes vary from one store to another, but it is clear that their prices for this year are high, whether children's, women's, men's or youth's clothes, in light of the economic situation."

And Al-Bahsh continued, "The increase rate has reached at least 20%, and part of the increase was due to the exploitation of a need. It is true that there is an increase in prices and the exchange rate of the dollar, but the prices are supposed to be lower than what they are sold for now, especially when we compare the increase with neighboring countries." ".

On the other hand, Al-Bahsh confirmed that the prices of basic commodities are stable, with the exception of poultry, which is still high despite many attempts to control the markets, and that sweets are supposed to be stable, and if there is a rise, it will be simple, and the prices of fruits will rise next week, as we approach Eid.

Al-Bahsh noted that there must be pressure to publicize prices, and that housewives must search for clothing prices in more than one comparison shop and get the best price suitable for the family.

Al-Bahsh stressed that the chambers of commerce must have a role to play by putting pressure on merchants to adjust prices, and merchants must also have mercy on people in the month of mercy, and that we appreciate people's difficult conditions, in order to contribute to strengthening and strengthening the purchasing movement.
