DAMASCUS, June 6-- Syrians have been complaining about the skyrocketing prices amid a tough economic situation. Samar al-Hafez, a housewife, told Xinhua that the economic situation has become scary in recent weeks. "I don't know what happened and all of a sudden, the prices dramatically increased. I am now a window shopper because I cannot afford these prices," she said. The prices of products have increased ten folds since the beginning of the crisis in Syria nine years ago. In recent months, the situation even got harder. |
