”Ramadan” begins in the Islamic world Impacted by soaring living costs.
イスラム圏では23日、多くの国で断食月「ラマダン」が始まりました
Ramadan, the month of fasting, began in many Muslim countries on the 23rd.
The rising cost of living worldwide has had a major negative impact.
23日から始まったラマダンはイスラム教徒にとって神聖な月とされていて、多くの人が日の出から日の入りまで断食をします
It is also a period for ”charging” such as meals for the poor, but there are many people who say, ”This time, I will do about half the usual amount.”
日の入り後は親族や地域の人々など大勢で食卓を囲むのが恒例になっていて、食料品や贈り物などを買い込むため、出費の多い期間になります
After sunset, it is customary for many relatives and locals to gather around the dining table, and it is a time of heavy spending as they buy groceries and gifts.
パキスタンやエジプトなど、この1年で急激なインフレの進んだ国では満足に食料を買うことができない人が急増していて、今年のラマダンに影を落としています
In countries such as Pakistan and Egypt, where rapid inflation has progressed in the past year, the number of people who cannot buy food satisfactorily is increasing rapidly, casting a shadow on this year’s Ramadan.
貧しい人に対して、食事など「施し」をする期間でもありますが「今回は例年の半分ぐらいにする」と話す人も多くいます
