Gaza: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that food prices in the Gaza Strip have risen to unprecedented levels due to Israel's destruction and seizure of agricultural lands.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, UNRWA stated that nearly all farmland in the Gaza Strip has become 'destroyed or inaccessible,' leaving families without income and driving food prices to record highs after two years of Israel's devastating war. The UN agency highlighted that Palestinian families who once depended on their land's produce now face a dire economic situation, unable to afford food even when it becomes available in the markets.
In a post on X, UNRWA noted, 'A kilo of tomatoes that once cost 60S, now costs $15 - if found at all.' The agency emphasized the urgent need for the unrestricted flow of aid until Gaza's agricultural sector can be rebuilt.
