Shafaqna English- The price of essential goods has skyrocketed since Israel stopped all imports into Gaza, Al-Jazeera reported.
Belal Al-Helou described growing fear in Gaza City, where people are rushing to stockpile food. He noted that “prices have risen a lot” and warned that as long as the border crossings remain shut, “the prices will rise and increase even more”.
Adly Al-Ghandour, another shopper, estimated that prices have already surged by “80 percent so far” and cautioned that if the closure continues, they could climb “200 percent”.
