đïž Ramadan in Gaza: A Holy Month Amid Economic Catastrophe
As the world observes the sacred month of Ramadan, the families in the Gaza Strip are facing an unprecedented struggle for survival. Two years of devastating conflict have decimated the local economy, turning a traditional time of joy into a daily battle for a single loaf of bread.
đ The Soaring Cost of Survival:
Recent data and reports from Al Jazeera reveal a staggering increase in the price of basic necessities. Even with a fragile "ceasefire" in place since October, the economic blockade continues to strangle the market:
Chicken: Up 80% (from 14 to 25 shekels/kg).
Vegetables: Prices for staples like tomatoes have doubled, while cucumbers have surged by 300%.
The Iftar Gap: A standard iftar meal for a family of six now costs roughly 150 shekels ($48)ânearly double the pre-war cost of 79 shekels.
đ Beyond the Numbers:
With unemployment exceeding 80% and purchasing power almost non-existent, most families now rely entirely on humanitarian aid or charitable kitchens. The festive atmosphere of the past has been replaced by the quiet resilience of those breaking their fast amidst the rubble.
đĄ Why It Matters to Us:
As a global community, staying informed about the intersection of conflict and economic stability is crucial. While we track markets and charts, the reality in Gaza reminds us of the profound impact of macro-instability on human lives.
đ€Č Let's Support: In this month of giving, let us remember those in need. Awareness is the first step toward change.
