Food sellers in Gaza are charging really high prices because there isn’t enough food, which is making life hard for people who live there, regular Palestinians say.
Jihad Abu Sharkh had to move from his home in northern Gaza to Rafah in the south because a lot of displaced Palestinians are staying there. But now, it’s hard to find enough food to eat.
“We have to rely on the merchants who buy something for 10 shekels and then sell it for 200 or 250 shekels,” he said.
“They buy a bag of flour for 60 shekels and then sell it to us for 300 shekels. ”
He asked everyone to unite against the people who sell food to war, and stop them from having all the power.
Jamal Abu Alyan, who is in the southern part of Gaza, said: “Everywhere we go, we have a hard time because only a few dealers control everything. ”
Another person in Rafah told the media: “Many people don’t have enough food or drink to eat and some have to beg because they can’t find enough to eat. This is because food sellers are controlling the prices. ”
The United Nations has said that Gaza doesn’t have enough food and could run out of food soon.
More update on this story soon.
