What is the primary reason for food aid being sold at exorbitant prices in Gaza, according to the report?
Gangs and merchants are hoarding and selling the aidThe report states that due to a security breakdown in Gaza, much of the limited humanitarian aid is being hoarded by gangs and merchants and then sold at extremely high prices. For example, a kilogram of flour reached $60 and lentils $35, prices unaffordable for most residents. The UN and other aid groups cannot track distribution due to chaos and attacks on convoys. Organized gangs often dominate aid distribution sites, turning relief into a profitable business. This situation persists despite increased aid deliveries and highlights the collapse of internal security.
