Gazans face extortionate prices for smuggled aid on black market • FRANCE 24 English
Bars and tins of food all marked not for sale are up for display at this Market it’s very frustrating these products should not be sold they’re meant to be humanitarian aid for civilians this box of French aid is being sold by a man who’s been displaced
From the north of Gaza he said he bought it himself to sell the contents it’s written not for sale but I’m not making much money I bought it at high price from a Smuggler on this black market one 25 kilo sack of flour cost €700 35 times more than before the war
Humanitarian groups say only a huge influx of Aid will prevent this exploitation and saave off famine in Gaza
A black market selling smuggled aid is growing in Gaza as people in the war-torn enclave become increasingly desperate for food and everyday products amid the relentless fighting between Israel and Hamas. While none of the aid was originally intended for sale, some Gazans are now forced to pay exorbitant prices to obtain basic supplies stolen from aid convoys.

Hamas has plenty of food stockpiled in gaza. Why are they starving their own people?
Wow send more aid to be hoarded
Then stop sending aid corruption is what that is
Free Palestinians !!!
Western countries should be ashamed of themselves .
Shame on them. This is how they treat their own brothers and sisters in crisis?
So who are the smugglers
Sooo take it
That is aid. More aid,more corruption.
Mean the food Hammas steals from the aid convoys
During Ramadan…. Shame! I wonder what Allah, the non profit, the people who paid for it to be there or even AI is going to say about that greedy capitalist bs?
International court has ruled the root cause
