Gaza crossings closure risks shortages
A report warns that closing the Israeli crossings with the Gaza Strip during the Jewish holiday period in 2026 will exacerbate shortages of goods and lead to price hikes, especially since current supplies are insufficient to meet daily needs. The sector requires 700-800 trucks of goods daily, but only 200-250 trucks enter due to the blockade, coupled with a decline in strategic reserves and the destruction of warehouses during the war. The greatest danger concerns essential food items such as flour, eggs, meats, and vegetables, which arrive in limited quantities and quickly disappear once the crossings are closed. This situation worsens the suffering of the population, over 95% of whom depend on aid. Experts emphasize that continued closures deepen the fragility of markets and hinder recovery efforts, particularly during September and October, months that usually experience repeated closures due to holidays. This further complicates challenges for residents and the markets alike.
