Muslims flock to markets during Ramadan nights to shop and eat, making the month a important time for roadside vendors to make money.
Governments across the world have enforced shutdowns and curfews to keep people indoors in order to curb the spread of the contagious Covid-19 disease, which has killed nearly 90,000 in a matter of months.
Travel agents in other Muslim countries are in a fix over the suspension of Umrah as they already made payments for airfares, hotel rooms and transport.
But perhaps the biggest casualty of the lockdowns this Ramadan will be hundreds of thousands of hawkers and vendors who rely on roadside stalls in crowded markets to make money.
