Gaza Strip Cash Assistance and Market Monitoring Bulletin

Highlights

In June 2026, markets across assessed areas of Gaza continued to show availability of many essential food and non food items. While prices of food items decreased significantly compared to the spike experienced in March due to the closures related with the escalation of the conflict with Iran, the trend for non-food item prices is more mixed. Most importantly, the fact that goods are available in the market does not necessarily mean that vulnerable families can afford them. Limited income opportunities and limited purchasing power restricted families’ ability to meet basic needs.

UNICEF cash assistance monitoring shows that vulnerable recipient families remained under significant pressure and continue to rely on cash support to manage daily priorities. Displacement remained a defining feature of monitored households’ lives.
