Key findings
Gaza Strip With the beginning of the month of November, and the ceasefire entering its fifth week, there was an improvement in the prices of basic food commodities across all governorates in the Gaza Strip, with decreases in the prices of vegetables. However, all prices remain higher than pre-crisis (Sep 2023) levels and beyond the reach of most people.
The price of wheat flour stabilized across all governorates at the start of November with the price of one KG ranging between 4-5 NIS and the price of the 25 KG bag ranging between 85-112 NIS.
Chicken Eggs entered Deir Al-Balah city after an absence of more than 9 months. With the cartoon of 30 eggs sold for 150 NIS and one egg for 5 NIS. There was also a decrease in the price of eggs in Gaza City with the cartoon of 30 eggs sold for 50 NIS when only a few weeks ago one egg was sold in the market for 15 NIS. Still, those prices are much higher than those of pre-crisis levels (Sep 2023) and are not affordable for most people.
Frozen chicken started entering the Gaza Strip in limited quantities since the start of the ceasefire the official price is 40 NIS per KG of chicken and 55 NIS per KG of chicken breast. However, in the black market, the price is 65-80 NIS per KG of chicken and 110 NIS per KG of chicken breast. Those prices are around five times higher than pre-conflict levels and largely unaffordable for most households.
A bundle of the 2 KG WFP subsidized bread costs 3 NIS at designated retailers and also provided for free at hot meals distribution points for those who are unable to cook or afford buying it, while unsubsidized (produced by private bakeries not supported by WFP) bread costs 8-10 NIS per KG.
The majority of commercial goods entering consists of high monetary value but often low nutritional value commodities centering on carbohydrates, sugars, starches. These include chocolate and soft drinks while essential goods like eggs and all types of meat remain very limited.
8 KG of cooking gas are now available through the system for 65 NIS although in very limited quantities, while a kilo of gas is currently being sold on the black market for 80-100 NIS.
With diesel trucks finally entering the Gaza Strip after the ceasefire, there have been improvements in both the availability and prices of diesel, with its price ranging between 28-30 NIS per liter in Gaza City since the start of November.
Even with the ceasefire entering its fifth week, two-thirds of surveyed households in the Gaza Strip reported that they are still facing difficulties accessing markets during the first 10 days of November. Among those surveyed households, 98 percent reported that they struggled financially due to lack of cash, and 39 percent reported that they could not afford basic food items despite the drop in prices since the start of the ceasefire.
Surveyed households reported that they consumed an average of two meals per day in November, which is an improvement of the average of only one meal per day registered in July. However, one in four households still reported eating only one meal daily.
Food consumption in Gaza showed a slight improvement in early November compared to October but remains far below pre-conflict (September 2023) levels. Most households continue to rely mainly on cereals, pulses, and limited amounts of dairy and oil, while access to meat, vegetables, and fruits remains very limited. On average, vegetables are consumed one day per week (down from six), fruits less than half a day (down from three), and meat (protein sources) 0.5 days (down from three). Pulses consumption remains steady at 3.5 days per week, and bread continues to be consumed daily, consistent with pre-conflict patterns.
Over half of the population in the Gaza Strip are still relying on waste burning as an alternative to cooking gas. Although this percentage is expected to decrease slightly with the limited re-entry of gas supplies, the availability remains far below needs.
