Food has returned to Gaza's markets following the famine of 2025, with prices falling sharply from their peak levels, Mondoweiss reported. The recovery in supply, however, masks a deeper economic crisis: most residents lack the purchasing power to buy available goods.
Nearly three years of war and displacement have destroyed the financial capacity of Gaza's population to afford food, despite improved market availability. Families that once purchased staples now find even discounted prices beyond their means, as wages have disappeared, savings have been depleted, and economic activity has ground to a halt across the territory.
