12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jonathan Crickx, Chief of Communication, UNICEF, State of Palestine:
“I am here in Khan Younis in one of the supermarkets, where all the shelves are completely depleted. Those shelves have been empty for more than two weeks. There is only a little bit of baking powder and sesame seeds available. The prices of basic goods like potatoes or tomatoes have skyrocketed. Five kilos of potatoes today cost more than 70 dollars. One kilo of potatoes cost more than 11 dollars. These prices are so high that the most vulnerable families, most of the families here in the Gaza Strip, including the children behind me, cannot afford it. “
On 12 May 2025, after more than two months of closed crossings and zero humanitarian aid reaching Gaza, UNICEF teams visited key markets in southern Khan Yunis to evaluate essential commodity supply, which is very limited.
Stocks and high demand have sent prices soaring—today, a 25 kg bag of flour costs USD 300. With families and children already facing severe food insecurity, UNICEF continues to call for the immediate reopening of humanitarian corridors to restore regular food deliveries and safeguard children’s right to adequate nutrition.
