Daily commerce continues at the Souk al-Hal Market in Raqqah city, Syria, May 7, 2018. B-roll includes vendors and customers loading trucks with fresh, locally-grown produce. The venue serves as a central hub for local fruits and vegetables, as well as produce brought in from other provinces. Shops and small produce stands opening throughout Raqqah buy bulk orders of produce and they are delivered by the Souk al-Hal vendors. The market was shut-down for several months prior to the city’s liberation from ISIS, but now 62 vendors have returned to their businesses at the primarily wholesale market. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
