The number of commercial trucks entering the Gaza Strip decreased by 53.5% in October compared to September, exacerbating the shortage of essential products and the increase in prices in the local markets due to the continued Israeli restrictions. According to data published by the Borders and Crossings Authority, only 1,758 commercial trucks entered Gaza in October, down from 3,781 in September, while the total number of incoming trucks, including humanitarian aid and fuel, decreased by 27.1%. Although aid shipments increased by 45.9%, the decline in commercial imports has severely affected the supply of food, household goods and medical equipment, putting additional pressure on Palestinians struggling with shortages, rising living costs and declining purchasing power.
