Ar-Ramtha city-Jordan 21/09/2020

Residents of Ar-Ramtha city, situated in the far northwest of Jordan near the border with Syria, are agonizing over the absence of Syrian products that used to flood the city’s market. Meat was the one of the main imports, which was cheaper than the domestic meat. Families can no longer afford the high domestic meat prices as financial conditions are worsening. It is worth mentioning that smugglers are only concerned with drugs. The Jordanian armed forces foiled a smuggling attempt across the Syrian border as clashes broke out with smugglers.
