"The price per kilowatt-hour has increased from about 2.5 shekels ($0.80) to between 20 and 30 shekels ($7 and $10), nearly 10 times higher, placing it beyond the reach of many households."
"Palestinians in Gaza have been pushed to search for alternatives for cooking and baking, says Abdullah of the gas crisis that has now stretched beyond two years."
"Although Israeli forces have permitted some fuel and gas shipments since the October truce agreement with Hamas, Palestinian sources say that only 14.7 percent of the amount agreed upon in the ceasefire's humanitarian protocol has entered the territory."
Gaza's gas supplies are critically low, forcing families to wait months for minimal amounts. The cost of electricity from private generators has surged, with prices rising from 2.5 shekels to between 20 and 30 shekels per kilowatt-hour. Many households cannot afford this increase, pushing residents to seek alternatives for cooking and baking. Despite some fuel shipments allowed since a truce, only a fraction of the agreed amount has entered Gaza. Families receive limited gas supplies, exacerbating the economic crisis and forcing rationing.
