    The manifestations of Eid celebration in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] have become hypothetical, like many areas imposed by the repercussions of the new Corona virus pandemic, either because of the closure and the embargo or the erosion of the purchasing power of many citizens, to complain about the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in a season as long as merchants wait for it to move sales.
    The reluctance to buy was not limited to the markets for clothes, shoes and entertainment goods, but also for household items, food and sweets that are usually popular during the holiday seasons.

    On a tour of a number of markets in the capital, Baghdad, many owners of shops selling clothes and foodstuffs complain about the tightening restrictions against Corona and the lack of citizens' interest in buying.
    According to Muhammad al-Tamimi, the owner of a shop that sells children's clothes in the Shorja market in central Baghdad, the markets are experiencing an unprecedented recession.
    Al-Tamimi told Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed: “Eid Al-Fitr this year has become electronic, just as e-learning in schools and universities,” referring to physical distancing according to Corona restrictions.
    Many merchants have always bet on the Eid season to drive sales, but the successive waves of high prices and the decline in the purchasing power of most citizens prevent the achievement of what the merchants aspire to.
    According to official data, the poverty rate in Iraq increased to 31.7%, due to the repercussions of Corona, as Minister of Planning Khaled Al-Battal revealed recently that the repercussions of the epidemic caused the addition of 1.4 million citizens to the total number of poor amounting to 10 million people before the emergence of the virus early last year 2020 The poverty rate was 20% in 2018, according to the minister.

    Citizen Adham Hussein said in an interview with Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed, "This year's Eid has become completely different, as the atmosphere and preparations for the Eid have become limited to the necessary things that must be provided, without exaggerating decorating homes, dining tables, and buying new clothes."
    Hussein added, "Everything has changed. The economic crisis has directly affected the living conditions of most people, as financial capacity has decreased, as well as the prohibition measures that have prevented citizens from visiting relatives and going to parks."
    In the context, citizen Afrah Al-Salmani said that she was forced not to buy new clothes for her children, unlike what she was used to previously, noting that she only made sweets and pastries in preparation for Eid Al-Fitr this year.
    She added that "the difficult living conditions experienced by most families changed their priorities and made many of the basic Eid needs secondary," noting that "life in Iraq is getting more difficult day after day and Eid after Eid."
    Iraq is going through a stifling financial crisis caused by the drop in global oil prices, since the beginning of the spread of Corona, and the spread of corruption that has caused the country to lose hundreds of billions of dollars since the US occupation in 2003.
    Despite the difficult conditions experienced by most Iraqi families, children are eager to welcome the Eid with a joy that refuses to leave their faces despite the difficult conditions of life.
    Fatima Al-Taie, a housewife, says that the children are eagerly awaiting the day of Eid to wear the most beautiful clothes and buy gifts, so it is necessary to provide their needs to draw joy on their faces because they need someone who compels their thoughts and introduces joy into their hearts, which makes many families under financial pressure in order to achieve So for their children.
