Price hikes worsen food insecurity in Palestine
Thousands of Palestinian families are facing the threat of food insecurity, as a result of the significant rise in the prices of basic commodities, while officials fail to address the issue.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Rising prices of food commodities and basic products in the Palestinian territories have pushed thousands of families below the poverty line.
The coronavirus pandemic, followed by the Russian-Ukrainian war, further worsened the situation. A May 9 World Bank report said that the pandemic has severely affected the well-being of Palestinians and created more poverty.
