• Soundbite (Essam Abdo – Shop owner):

“Before the war, people used to buy more sweets, but with the current conditions of the war and the bad economic conditions, the demand decreased. People buy more sweets during the month of Ramadan.”

• Soundbite (Hayat Al-Dhubhani – Citizen):

“The people of this city buy and give sweets to each other. I came to buy Turumba for my family, neighbors, and friends because everyone likes it.”
