UNRWA warns of unaffordability of goods flowing into Gaza

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says on X that the toll Israel’s two-year campaign of destruction has taken on Gaza’s farmlands has left many families without income, Al Jazeera reports.

“A kilo of tomatoes that once cost 60¢, now costs $15 — if found at all”, the agency said. “Families who once lived from their land now have no income.”

“Until Gaza’s agricultural sector can be rebuilt, there must be an unrestricted flow of aid”, UNRWA said.
