Key findings – Gaza Strip

• The fourth week of March witnessed a sudden and quick increase in the price of wheat flour towards the end of the week, in addition to a rise in the prices of frozen goods, particularly chicken and their derivatives, with availability in smaller quantities compared to the end of the previous week. Vegetable prices also remained relatively high compared to the previous weeks before the start of Iran crisis.
• Flour prices in Gaza have risen sharply, now 47 percent above pre?conflict levels, with a 25 kg bag price increasing to 75 NIS. This surge is driven by severe supply shortages, restrictions on goods entry, reduced aid distributions, and monopolization by traders. With commercial flour absent from the market and availability tied almost entirely to WFP parcel distributions, households face reduced bread access and growing market monopolies, underscoring the fragility of Gaza’s flour supply chain.
• Chicken Eggs have been largely missing from the Gazan markets in the last two weeks, and when available they are in very small quantities and in very high prices.
• The number of humanitarian and commercial trucks entering the Gaza Strip witnessed a sharp decrease in March 2026 compared to the previous months. A daily average of only 130 trucks entered in March (until the 30 ) compared to the daily average of 230 trucks entered during February and the 225 trucks per day during January. With the reduction of commercial entries in March, 71 percent of surveyed retailers reported that their stock levels are below normal.
• Trends in food diversity consumption highlight both a partial recovery in some food groups and a continued weakness in dietary diversity, leaving households increasingly vulnerable to supply disruptions and price volatility.
• In March 2026, physical access to food slowed compared to February, with only 24 percent of households reporting improved access versus 49 percent the previous month. While 35 percent saw no change, 41 percent reported worse access, largely driven by rising prices and reduced entry of commercial goods since the onset of the Iran crisis.
• Diesel prices in Gaza rose sharply to 35–40 NIS per liter; an increase of 438 percent compared to pre?ceasefire levels. Cooking gas was sold through official channels at 65 NIS for 8 kg in limited quantities, while on the black market prices spiked to around 95 NIS per kilogram.
• In March, 55 percent of the population reported relying on waste burning as an alternative to cooking gas. This underscores the urgent need to ensure a consistent and sufficient supply of cooking gas to mitigate serious health risks linked to unsafe cooking practices.
• Since the onset of the Iran crisis, the West Bank has faced a severe fuel shortage, with daily supplies averaging 3.5 million liters (only 78 percent of the 4.5 million liters required) leaving stations depleted within hours. The crisis, ongoing for months, has worsened recently, with stations unable to store fuel ahead of monthly price hikes and further disruptions expected during the Jewish holidays.
• The Palestinian General Petroleum Authority announced April fuel and gas prices, citing the unprecedented rise in global oil prices, the worsening energy crisis, and reliance on Israeli markets as the main supplier. A liter of 95 octane gasoline will be sold at 7.90 NIS (15 percent increase), diesel at 8.40 NIS (41 percent increase), and a 12?kg gas cylinder at 95 NIS (27 percent increase).
