Gaza Chamber Warns of Rising Hunger

Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian and economic crisis due to the deterioration of purchasing power and rising rates of poverty and unemployment. This is a result of ongoing Israeli restrictions on the entry of goods, which have led to a sharp shortage of foodstuffs, vegetables, fruits, and essential commodities. The prices of basic goods, such as tomatoes and milk, have increased by over 500%, alongside declining income sources and an increased reliance on aid. The destruction of agricultural infrastructure and restrictions on supplies entering have caused significant shortages of meat and poultry, further increasing the risk of hunger. Poverty and unemployment rates have soared beyond 90% and 80%, respectively. Despite the signing of an agreement to cease hostilities and allow daily shipments of goods, Israel has not fulfilled its obligations, and the humanitarian situation remains dire. The concerned parties are urged to ensure an adequate flow of supplies to prevent the worsening of the crisis.
