Some store owners reported growing demand for children's clothes and candies. However, they added that sales were not as good as the numbers of visitors.
"Parents are just trying to buy children's clothes, they want to clothe their children, and give them priority over themselves. When you see the crowd here, you would say: oh God, there are many people, [but the truth] that something is heartbreaking them and they are sad when they want to buy things, but they cant," owner of a children's clothing store, Mahmoud Fakhoury said.
"There is a weak demand at the markets due to the high prices, and the situation is difficult for everyone, thanks to God there is movement in the markets, but it is weak," another store owner, Muhammad Hallaq, added.
Idlib hosts a large population of people who were displaced during the Syrian conflict and are largely unemployed. They also oppose the government of President Bashar Al-Assad.
