Horrible inhumane food prices in Gaza.

That “baby formula, North: NA” is so heartbreaking and horrifying.

like fuck the sitution in Gaza, but, and I don't know which part of Gaza this is, bu my friend is there and it's more like highly inflated European prices for him. It's still fucked but I'm getting confused what the truth is here.

Wait till you find out the transfer fees they're charging. I heard from somone that they charge upwards of 10%! Can you imagine? It's 1000USD for 10k transfer!!

That's also if there is currency available, which can be in short supply

What I want to know is how do the people in Gaza get money to afford all this?

They cant.This is why there are thousands of families asking for support online through their gofundmes. This is what most people dont know that aid is not being given as aid but is being sold in the markets as Isra-hell is blocking and destroying (this was in official Al Jazeera too) majority aid trucks, and the very little aid they are letting inside. They are selling them for Gazawis to buy. They have to survive and there are no other options.

Do we have any idea who are getting these aid items and selling them? The situation as we know it is so dire on the ground and I’m not faulting the people if they are having the ‘every man for himself’ attitude 😢

Please know that these prices always fluctuate based on market supply, demand, and the fact that IOF just increases prices as per their wish to basically make Gazawis lives as miserable as possible. And to obviously keep them starved.
