Gaza prepares dates for distribution to markets with the start of Ramadan

Date workers in Gaza began preparing and packaging Palestinian dates imported from Jericho city, for distribution to markets and shops in the Strip.

The dates are imported, sorted, and set in large boxes, to be stored in refrigerators till the start of Ramadan. People in Gaza are more likely to buy dates during Ramadan despite the difficult living conditions.

Large quantities of popular types of dates have been provided at reasonable prices so that the consumer can afford them. Owners of date companies suffer from power outages, which cause them great losses and the expiration of dates.
