Cairo and Abu Dhabi There are only a few items in Hanna Ayyad's fridge at any given moment these days. The Cairo street fruit vendor has restricted his family's diet as inflation triggered by the Ukraine war has soared in Egypt. "Now we buy new clothes every other holiday," he tells CNN."We can do without eating meat, buying it once a month, and we may buy chicken two or three times a month, not like before." His customers too can only afford a fraction of what they used to buy, shrinking his daily income. "Some people used to buy 5kg or 10kg of fruit -- now they can buy 1kg or 2kg at most," he says. It takes him days to sell the same amount of produce he used to sell in one day.
