Lighters cost over $50 in Gaza as supplies blocked

Residents in Gaza say a simple lighter now costs more than $50 because such items have been blocked from entering the territory for roughly three years, making basic survival tasks like cooking extremely difficult. People there say they are not seeking luxuries, just the means to light a fire to cook and stay alive, and they are appealing to the outside world for attention and help.
Why now: The ongoing blockade of basic goods into Gaza is making everyday items unaffordable, drawing renewed attention to the humanitarian situation.
