Dubai: Prices of Lebanese food imports have gone up as the Israeli violence continues towards its third week, while traders in Sharjah have congested receiving supplies.

The Fruit and Vegetable Market in Al Aweer has raised the prices of Lebanese create as deliveries have stopped.

"I stopped selling lettuce about a month ago, when the war first started. I now sell the ones from Iran and Syria, because the trucks that used to bring it from Lebanon do not come here anymore," said Mohammad, one of the sellers in Al Aweer.

Many stalls in the market no longer sell Lebanese-imported oranges or watermelons either, and the little that does sell them is offering them at a higher price.
