State news agency SANA puts claims of inflation and shortages in Syria to rest:
Prime Minister, Dr. Wael al-Halki, said that all food items are available in the governmental sale centers at moderate prices.
During a tour of a number of sale centers on Thursday, al-Halki said that are diverse food items, including vegetables, fruit, meat and oil, since they are domestic industries that are a source of power for Syria in the face of schemes to subdue the Syrian people.
Dr. al-Halki stressed that the national economy is robust and capable of withstanding the economic sanctions against the Syrian people.
