Gaza resident confirms there is food available, but prices have skyrocketed
Northern Gaza Strip resident: "Today, because there is no access to the northern Gaza Strip, [only] food and canned goods are coming to us. A can of beans used to cost 2 shekels (around $0.50 -Ed.). Today it's 10 [shekels] (over $2.50 -Ed.). A can of chickpeas used to be sold for 1 shekel (around $0.25 -Ed.), today it's 5-10 shekels ($1.30-$2.50 -Ed.)."
