Tulkarm living costs and income issues
The article discusses the economic situation in Tulkarm, where the living crisis has become more complicated due to the interplay of multiple factors, including rising prices of goods, energy, and transportation, as well as declining employment opportunities and the purchasing power of families. Consumer prices in the West Bank increased by 1.32% in August 2026 compared to the previous month, and by 3.27% compared to the same month last year. Additionally, the rise in fuel prices has led to higher transportation costs and increased prices of goods, negatively impacting commercial activity, with a decline in purchasing power and a deteriorating labor market, as unemployment rates reached 28.6%. Residents are facing significant economic pressures, relying on limited income, with some halting purchases of non-essential goods. Traders are suffering from weak demand and rising costs, which exacerbates the crisis and threatens the stability of the city's economic situation.
