STORY: Tunisian families struggle to buy sheep before Eid al-Adha with shrinking purchasing power DATELINE: July 5, 2022 LENGTH: 0:01:24 LOCATION: Tunis CATEGORY: ECONOMY/SOCIETY SHOTLIST: 1. various of a sheep market in Tunis STORYLINE: Due to the sluggish economy in Tunisia and the hiking prices of daily necessities, many families cannot afford to buy live sheep ahead of the upcoming Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of the Sacrifice. According to local custom, each family should buy a live sheep to slaughter during the important festival. In order to prevent sellers from sharply rising prices, the Tunisian government announced in June to put a limit on the average price of live sheep. A sheep costs 200 to 300 U.S. dollars in local markets and it is about 10 percent higher than last year. The purchasing power of local families has generally declined due to various factors. Many Tunisian families have decided to buy sheep together for the festival. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Tunis. (XHTV
