Amnah Qaddoum, 48, fled from Gaza City to Rafah after an arduous journey of displacement from one place to another. During the war, Amnah and her husband, Ismail, have lived off the food aid that arrives in Gaza through UNRWA. A kilogram of sugar that used to cost 3 shekels (less than a dollar) is now sold for 25 shekels, if available at all. A liter of diesel that used to cost 7 shekels now costs 70-90 shekels. The 12-kilogram propane cylinders that used to cost 50 shekels to fill are now available on the black market for 250-300 shekels.
