(Web Desk) – Residents of Gaza City, Gaza report fewer Israeli airstrikes in recent weeks, yet daily life has become harder as aid flows diminish amid the broader regional conflict involving Israel and Iran. Humanitarian crossings were temporarily closed following the escalation of hostilities, limiting the entry of essential goods and fuel.
Local residents and aid organizations say market prices for basic items have surged by 200–300 percent after disruptions at the Kerem Shalom crossing, Gaza’s primary gateway for goods. The southern Rafah crossing remains shut, further restricting humanitarian access.
Gaza relies heavily on external assistance for food, medicine, and fuel. Aid agencies warn that even short interruptions in supply quickly trigger shortages and inflation. Residents describe panic buying and rising desperation as the humanitarian situation deteriorates despite a relative lull in military activity.
