The number of commercial trucks entering the Gaza Strip decreased in October by 53.5% compared to September, which worsened the shortage of essential products and raised prices in the local markets against the background of the ongoing Israeli restrictions. According to the Border Crossing Authority, only 1,758 commercial trucks entered Gaza in October, down from 3,781 in September, and the total number of trucks entering Gaza, including humanitarian aid and fuel, decreased by 27.1%. Although the scope of the delivery of humanitarian aid (usually covering only basic survival standards - flour, water, canned goods, etc.) n) increased by 45.9%, the decrease in commercial imports severely affected the supply of food, household goods and medical equipment, further worsening the situation of the Palestinians who are experiencing a shortage of goods, an increase in the cost of living and a decrease in purchasing power.
