Three Years Under Blockade: What Goods Are Reaching Gaza?

Aid and food deliveries entering the Gaza Strip meet only 20% of its needs, with most of the goods destined for the commercial sector.

After three years of blockade, the limited flow of supplies leaves a wide gap between what reaches Gaza and what its population requires. Goods entering for commercial sale account for the largest share, rather than aid distributions.

Israeli authorities also continue to block the entry of essential materials needed to restart production, restricting more than the supply of finished goods and food.

Those restrictions leave Gaza facing two linked shortages: insufficient supplies to meet immediate needs and limited access to the inputs that could help restore local production. The question is not only how much enters the territory, but whether the goods allowed through can support its recovery.
