Gaza Spike and Shake Leats prices after Israel stops help

Food prices in Gaza rose and help with food cheese soon after Israel blocked humanitarian aid, the UN Humanities Agency said.

OCHA partners said in some cases the prices for flour and vegetables doubled, and gasans tell the BBC the same.

If the block continues, “at least 80 kitchens in the community may soon end,” and the remaining food parcels that “will support 500,000 people will soon end,” said Och.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to stop assisting the weekend by accusing Hamas of stealing supplies and refusing US proposal to expand Israeli-Homas ceasefire. Hamas’s press -secretary said the stop was “cheap blackmail”.

Thousands of trucks help each week go into gas under ceasefire, which began on January 19.

After the first stage of the ceasefire ended on Saturday, Netanyahu’s office accused Hamas of stealing “to finance his terrorist machine.”

Earlier, Hamas denied the theft of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

Netanyahu also stated that Hamas refused to take a six -week expansion of the fire, in various conditions, than before, as US President Donald Trump’s President Steve Witco.

After stopping the help in response, Och said that on Tuesday, for some public kitchens, which remain prompt, “the power content will need to be corrected or the number of meals prepared to combat the expected deficiency.”

The partners will also “have to reduce food rations”. While they distribute previously sent food parcels, the rest of the deliveries are expected to end soon.

As a result, Abu Cais -oarian, from Khan UNIS, told BBC Arabic that the cost of the main goods doubled on Sunday night. He said the prices had already doubled or three times increased.

Other residents said the price of a kilogram of tomatoes rose from five gray (£ 1) to ten, and a kilo of cucumbers from six to 17 gray.

“We could barely afford to buy a kilogram of tomatoes to satisfy our hunger,” said one person, adding that people cannot buy food, “because there is no monetary liquidity.”

Isa Meite, a resident of Gaza, said there was a lack of goods and very high consumption, and he was “very afraid that prices would increase again”.

“The last decision is unfair because it is the grievances of our children. How our children will live in the light of these high prices that will increase arbitrarily?” he said.

Some blame the hike traders, saying they are using the situation.

Mahmoud Abu Mohsen’s shopping Mahmud told BBC Arabic that he has raised the prices because the wholesalers he acquires also did.

“For example, I bought sugar for five shekels, three gray or four shekels, but now I buy sugar for six shekels, that is, I don’t get more than a little profit,” he said. “The news that Netanyahu has announced is what caused the excitement among people.”

Doctors without borders (MSF press) Caroline Seguin said in a statement that “the news created uncertainty and fear, causing food prices.”

“Israel again blocks the entire population from receiving help using it as a partition,” Seguin said. “This is unacceptable, outrageous and will have devastating consequences.”

Qatar and Egypt, who helped to mediate in the ceasefire, condemned the Israel’s step.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar called the decision a “obvious violation of the ceasefire” and “international humanitarian legislation”. The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accused Israel of using hunger as a “weapon against the Palestinian people,” AFP reports.

David Menzer, a press secretary of government diplomacy Israeli Prime Minister, said in a video call that “Hamas had removed the months and months of supply. They have enough food to nourish the obesity epidemic.”

“There is supplies, but Hamas does not share,” he added.

A lot of gases uses help: a month ago, I said that more than a million people – about half of the population – have received food assistance since the ceasefire began.

All the help, not just food, affects the blockade. Charitable medical assistance for the Palestinians (MAP) stated that she had some medicines in the reserve for her clinics and auxiliary devices for people with disabilities except hygienic kits.

“However, we do not currently have high assistance reserves, as most of the subjects that are in the immediate distribution,” the charity said. “Unfortunately, we do not have stocks we can use during a long closure of the gas.”

The ceasefire was aimed at ending 15 months of conflicts after about 1,200 people died and took 251 hostages as a result of the attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Israel has responded to the air and ground company in Gaza, which killed at least 48,405, the Ministry of Health Hamas reports.
