Food insecurity is weighing down on Muslims around the world during the holy month of Ramadan, which is meant for community gatherings and feasting over big plates of mouth-watering food. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said that conflicts, political and economic crises, the Covid pandemic and climate change have all caused food insecurities on various staples. From the Gaza Strip, Iraq, to Syria and Yemen, people there have had to adapt during the holy month of fasting.

I come from Indonesia. We're humble and grateful that condition in Indonesia is much better I think. Ramadan this year feels so much better than the last 2 years. Food price alway rise in Ramadhan, but our government seems to manage it well. And best of all, this year we can freely visit our friends and relatives... No more covid restrictions
Why food price rise
@@awesomevideo5525 inflation, also large demand during that so the food producer incrase price for extra profit
@@awesomevideo5525 kinda like in some places, food prices will spike on Christmas or other huge holidays. High demand. High demands lead to spike in prices.
@@awesomevideo5525 Because here they take advantage of holiday. Same price for everything, just an "excuse" to inflate it for no reason but greed.
@@faizalbarkah2617 but in india price don't rise up in Ramzan, I have seen this sudden Inflation in muslim country
Kudos to the woman hawker who decided not to compromise on the quality and ingredients.
Yes! I'd much rather have a smaller portion whose quality hasn't been compromised than having the same sized portion but of inferior taste.

It's sad to see how divided we are today: we're always using each other as a scapegoat instead of trying to figure out how to fix the problem
Our ( common people ) solution is problem for some powerfull corporate. Thus they did anything they can to establish their wealth.

This was India till few years back. Could understand the pain. May all the conflicts resolve and global peace follow
Define your few years back. Your comment paints a grim picture of India. And that's not TRUE.
@@_M_D_M_ few years back is before 1991
@@vaniganapathi830 Come on. You can't refer to our situation 30-40 years back as few years back. This nation is still fighting its way to progress, but things are not as dire as they were way back.
@@_M_D_M_ compared to 300-400 years of poverty we faced, after 1991 many things improved. We got better opportunities. I am positive about those and the way we progressed till now.

Woah we have finally reached the point where vegetables are expensive
It affects the United States and many areas of North America. Meat and Poultry isn’t always higher in prices. Some fruits and vegetables are high. So is eggs, so it depends on where you live.
but here we’re able to afford more than one portion of food with the money they’re mentioning, don’t put down someone else’s struggles
It varies. People whatever countries you live it’s always gonna have high and low costs of foods and inflation will never stop
@@rumaisazahid8638 They didn't put anyone down they just shared what is happening in their area.
@@lubuccii yea and that wasn’t the point of the video, this comment suggested that they have no idea what’s going on on the other side and they jus start telling their own story. It sounds very apathetic.
Egg prices are out of this world now
What a time to be alive.
?
In Malaysia also theres price increases. Meat price before covid was RM29, during covid RM32.. and now RM38 During ramadhan we eat 3 dishes only: meat/chicken, vegetable, and egg dish. Cooked in smaller portions.
If you think carefully about it, you will realize that every country that gets into such a difficult situation because of the direct or indirect intervention of the US.
And no where is the US to be found for the current peace negotiations!
@@billinsf88 I mean yeah, the country with top 1 military budget obviously will never be peaceful as they claim...
Pretty plain even a blind can see.
Americans are always so paranoid about other countries they don't look within their own country
Well yes ,usa also exports inflation to the world
Sad to see when people cant make their dishes
Ironic for Chinese media to talk about Muslims when they are torturing them in myanmar
The prices do rise because flood/drought conditions change dramatically in areas around the globe.
El Nino/La Nina disrupted the agriculture sector so much. It doesn't help that armed conflict has also disrupted the agriculture sector by trampling thru fields mainly to grow crops & animals also rely on silage produced (hay, grain) grown in those fields. Wheat, sunflower, other produce couldn't be harvested because the farmers in those regions were displaced because of the soldiers. Smh because the adaptability is put under pressure.
May these people's conditions improve. And may retribution befall those scammers posting fake bot comments on this video to lure victims in.

Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil. No food suffices against hunger but the food of Jannah, not any drink suffices against thirst but the milk of al-Kawthar. Muslims will preserve and continue to praise their Lord.

Why there no video oh uvigher Muslim of china during Ramadan.
If you’re still throwing lavish feats and banquets every night for iftar then you missed the point of fasting in Ramadhan.
If you came to this conclusion after watching then you missed the point of the video
It's not about how well someone is following the faith. It's about the purchasing power. Like it's one thing to be able to afford it and willingly not buying lavish food etc. It's another to not being able to do anything because there isn't anything to do in the first place.
Enjoy when you can😂😂😂
So don't you think when conditions were normal, these same desert people threw parties
Alhamdulillah, Muslims are pretty humble people,they don't ask for much, they seek what they need not what they want, because wants have no limits, and they want to have their wants in paradise InshaAllah.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 here they have no choice to ask, they are forced to live in such conditions. Muslims or non Muslims, humans will learn to adjust to any dire situation. Survival, that's the basic human instinct and it has got nothing to do with religion. By the way, Where is this so called PARADISE???? Is there a GPS location mentioned by your Allah or Muhammad
all over the world get their stuff “rising prices situation” 😢
I think it's ironic for a Chinese publishing house to make a video on Ramadan after what they are doing with uighurs muslims in china
To be honest meat or veggies main thing to remember is as long as people can get things to eat to survive, it's a blessing. Ramadan doesn't mean we have to eat meat /chicken or fish!!!
Meat is more filling than veggies.
It menitioned some eat once a day.
Stop having too many kids. Children are not God's gift, rather your choice.
theya re gods gift... but with a price.... just make sure u can afford it before having more childern.... which... all this people never thought of......
maybe they need to know the thing that called CONDOMS..... but again.... u cant cure idiotism.....
Who? You? The neighbor? The people in the video? Their friends? Me? The problem is that who gets to have kids and who doesn't? Who decides that? And what gives someone the right to have a child while others don't have that right? Procreation is literally the most important drive human beings have after survival.
@@lawrencefrost9063because they actually have money to be responsible for a kid
Your comment is directed to Muslims. Seems like you're biased. What about women in the US fighting for their rights for abortion?? Your government is forcing them to have kids (even though they're minors, for example, a 10 years old girl was r*ped) when they want to be financially responsible. How f'ed up is that!
Every where is problem. Even in America Homeless n poverty living on the streets . Depends how the media wants to portray their audiences
Yeah exactly
All that food looks delicious!!
As a haram person i cannot eat hallal. Every meal or drink i eat must be as haram as possible.

The world needs to be more domesticated in food’s productions
We not any better off here in America , my rent went up 150.00 dollars food of all kinds up 12 , even 18% from last year , a dozen eggs over 5.00 ,,,,, but wages are still the same , I was forced into taking a second job so I didn't become homeless , like so many other Americans have .
I sincerely sympathize with the people of the middle east but inflation isn't just a middle eastern thing , it's a world thing , so right now all anyone can do is commiserate with each other and tighten the belt , sadly I never known prices to go down once up , so hopefully I'm wrong because this isn't people's fault, this is greed by bankers and governments.
Yes it's Quite possible in India with emerging Startups
The alternative choice... Brutal reality... 😢😢😢
Muslims in Indonesia are very hardworking....😊
hate it or not, people should gone back to times where a family own livestock.
Cost of veg and pulses rise during festivities.
It's happening every year
What Uiger Muslims celebrating this Ramzan in China ?
oh boy.
I thought I was only one living on falafal and rice this is sad...
Political biases outside, one of the best reporting and presentations ever.

I hope food will be accessible to everyone. Muslim or non Muslim deserves to eat affordable and delicious food not just on holidays - but everyday.
As Muslim we see life as a test and we continue to walk our way out by been patient because our destination is Heaven.
@Bronze Stars and Moons bruh mind your own religion why talk bad ABOUT others believes it ain't gonna make you a big person

their r so many rich arabs in middle east..they can for sure help lots of these people n even Allah will bless the rich arabs for their this act..🙏🙏
It’s almost like theres no wild animals roaming
Vegetables were original food of humans
Meat has always been for the middle and higher classes. It's hard to accept when one has to lower their financial standards. Been there too.
This is living proof that time travel already exists. Looks like we devolved back to these times

@@Arrow_7s yes but the cost of living is also much higher. It all balanced out in the end
@@ttn20101 so living in your warm house with amazing facilities. Is equal to a country with horrible infrastructure and healthcare?
@@Arrow_7s how about living in my warm house that I paid extortionate price to heat and run by working hard is equal to people who do the same in poorer countries? In the UK we earn more but we spend more on cost of living, while in poorer countries people earn less while paying less for the same basic amenities. How hard is that to understand?
@@ttn20101 what about people with low living standards not being able to access water regularly. And the overall unsafe environment is on par with the U.K.? Wow bro.

Excellent piece - would love to see more like this. Great work SCMP 👏👏👏
Well clearly they aren't fasting if they need a feast.

THIS IS EVERYWHERE
Reminded me of someone's claim about high fuel price won't be the end because Europe has the financial capability to afford fuel. That's true, but Europe buying up other source of fuels to supplant their own means other nations will struggle to buy. Sri Lanka had been the first on the block to fall. Thankfully price has cooled somewhat after the initial rush by European nations to fill their reserve driving the price up. The same can be said of food. The West sold and enforce globalisation on the world, but they themselves are creating waves in international market that became tsunami once it hits smaller countries. The energy crisis of the 70s hits the West hard, but the rest of world was not as energy dependent as they are now. While the West can contend with their expanding even if costly renewables or some domestic production if needed, most countries outside of the Gulf are dependent on import. The next resource crisis might sink a whole host of governments and institutions.
"Crises" are manufactured by the major players of any given industry to give themselves the excuse they need to hike prices. Oil is one of the most abundant resources on Earth.
Allah is the sustainer, so there is nothing to be troubled about.
Keep the seeds replant. It's not expensive to grow your own.
Depends if the company producing the seeds is one of the US lot like Santanda or whatever they are called. They intentionally ensure that the seeds are infertile so that the farmers have to buy new seeds every year. They nearly bankrupted/destroyed India's farmers doing this in the past and they continue to do it now with all the new ''hybrids'' that they make you buy. You can plant all the seeds saved from the plants you ate that you like but few if any will germinate.
😍😋
Even after Fasting they still fill their bellies? What was whole point of it?
Pal you need to eat to survive. You can't just fast and not eat forever 😂 The point is to experience the feeling of hunger and thirst and much more than that too.
Thanks to China Pakistan is also suffering!
Are the Uyghurs are also getting a chance to celebrate Eid in China ?

that would do much at this stage they are all broke and wont have enough money to afford enough aswell as this it would take time to grow things and manage them aswell
I mean, thats the point of fasting.
have some sympathy
The US retail stores generate about 16 billion pounds of food waste every year, thanks to the free-market economy. The amount of energy and resources used to produce the wasted food has been making climate change very difficult to suppress

@@lawrencefrost9063 he has a agenda to spread propaganda against the west
@@lawrencefrost9063 America's food waste is more than the food waste of all other countries combined
There is little market for edible food with cosmetic defects in the states. Some goes to animal feed but in most locations it's not even worth the cost of transport.
Dolma doesn’t belong to Iraq. The word itself is Turkic meaning “stuffing” so if the leaf is rolled it is called a sarma meaning “a rolled thing” but if it is something like pepper or dried eggplant etc it is called dolma. The food is wellknown in every single country Ottoman Empire once ruled over.
Iran and Mediterranean countries like Syria, Lebanon and Greece also had recipes for stuffed eggplant and rolled grape leaves.. Way before the ottomans ruled them.
Some of them just adopted the Turkish name of the dishes because of the ottoman rule.
Here comes the nationalist to claim something they don't even know about. The world existed long before the ottoman turks came along. Plus nobody really owns a dish if multiple countries all made the same one with no knowledge of the other. Dolma is basically like Sushi but instead of rice on the outside, it's on the inside.
@@Orvvv200 that doesn’t make a lot of historical sense though and is quite in contrary with many other dishes our cuisines share. If a country had the exact dish before Ottoman rule Ottoman empire would have adopted it itself. As it did with many things from administration to cuisine. For example nearly all fish in Turkish are named after the Greek word. (Or cities even lol) Nearly all Meze or food like Lahmacun is taken from Arabic because these foods do belong to Levant. It wouldn’t be too realistic to have the food for centuries and change its names when Turks arrived since there was no policy of nationalizing food names within the Ottoman Empire in the first place.
@@Ceylin_Kurtbogan Since our countries are extremely close to each other it’s not hard to believe that we shared some ancient food traditions, like stuffing vegetables.
Unlike Iraq, in my country the name for stuffed eggplants and some other vegetables is not Turkish. We don’t call it dolma. I have reasons to believe that it existed in our ancient cuisine. But regardless I know that the way we prepare it today is definitely heavily inspired by the ottomans.
stuffed grape leaves are called “Yaprak” in some areas in my country. And there’s also “Yalanji” (we use it for grape leaves stuffed with vegtables instead of meat and rice) The list for dishes with Turkish names is veryyy long. Especially for desserts. I know that a lot of the dishes in my country and our region originated in Turkey and spread because of the Ottoman Empire.
I have a lot of love for Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. It has a very beautiful history and culture, it also influenced my culture and I feel a sort of closeness to Turks and turkey! But I think that the technique of stuffing vegtables existed in the region and not just turkey!

Why do muslim say they are fasting at ramadan, when they eat and drink early in the morning before the sun rise, and late in the evening when sun goes down? The are eating even at the night, muslim fasting is not a real fasting, they just turn the time for eating to night time.
Just a thought.
So what is "real" fasting?
Muslims do not eat or drink anything in-between those hours from sunrise to sunset. You do realize that right?
Depending on where you live it could be that they're fasting 10+ hours a day for 30 days or so.
The meaning of fasting is to: abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance.
So perhaps you need to go do some reading to educate your thoughts.
14 hours fast IS A FAST, educate yourself
Of course it’s fasting we go without food for more than 10
Hours . The longest fast we have ever done was 20 hours I believe (Scotland).
There are other forms of fasting for Christians lent . For Hindus . But in these forms of fasting foods and water can be consumed . Yet it’s fasting of sorts .
Muslims can’t consume anything from dawn til sunset . That includes water. So I would argue it’s the most extreme form of fasting in any religion . Consider we do this for 30 days consecutively
But this isn’t about im better than you, so why are you making it so? Grow up, just a thought !
That is exactly the meaning of fasting. To fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days consecutively.
Are you telling me that people are going to survive not eating or drinking water for 30 days in a row?
Geez, get some basic education.
Work for it... do some agriculture... no one gives for free.. and
