Ramadan, Eid, and the start of the school year, as well as the summer vacation, are a season for ravaging the budgets of limited-income families, as most low-income citizens expressed their deep dissatisfaction with their low standard of living, as this stage requires large amounts of liquidity spent from their financial income, in line with the usual social preparations.
