VOICED : Frugal Ramadan for cash strapped Damascenes

In Damascus, volunteers prepare meals for the poor during Ramadan, doubling their efforts due to the economic impact of the civil war. The Syrian pound's devaluation has forced families to adapt their cooking habits, often using cheaper ingredients. Displaced families face challenges in preparing Iftar meals. A cooking show now offers budget-friendly recipes, while vendors modify sweets to make them affordable. The economic crisis has left 83.4% of Syrians living below the poverty line.
