Storyline:
Food prices in Gaza Strip have experienced a sharp increase in the wake of the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict, further inflaming the hardship of local residents.

Since the outbreak of the conflict, Israel has implemented a comprehensive blockade on the Gaza Strip, allowing the entry of only a small number of trucks carrying aid supplies, resulting in an extreme shortage of supplies and a sharp increase in the prices of basic living supplies such as flour and sugar.

The humanitarian situation in northern Gaza Strip is worsening due to the lack of food supplies, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents.

In Gaza City, food on offer is scarce for residents. People line up to buy wild greens and rotten eggplants that used to feed livestock.

The price of one kilogram of flour has surged from less than 1 shekel (0.27 U.S. dollars) to 50 shekels (13.65 U.S. dollars) and that of one kilogram of sugar surged from 3.5 shekels (nearly 1 U.S. dollar) to 80 shekels (more than 21.8 U.S. dollars).

Sky-high prices are making the residents suffer.
