Gaza Food Prices Remain Stable Amid Ongoing Market Challenges

The Gaza Strip's food market saw little change in August, with some slight increases in key vegetable prices due to high demand and supply shortages.

The average price of a 25 kg wheat flour bag remained stable at 35-45 NIS across the Gaza Strip, with Khan Younis registering the highest prices.

Food consumption patterns in Gaza during July showed that only 15 percent of surveyed households reported better access to food, while 40 percent reported no change and 45 percent indicated a worsening of conditions.

The entry of commercial trucks into Gaza increased in July, with a total of 5,677 humanitarian and commercial trucks entering the Strip, but market challenges persist due to supply chain disruptions, high restocking costs, and cash liquidity shortages.
