Gaza's cash shortage deepens under financial restrictions
Original: Israeli-imposed financial restrictions are choking Gaza's economy as banknotes run out, leaving the average consumer wit
Gaza's economy is being strangled by Israeli-imposed financial restrictions, with physical banknotes running out across the territory. Reports say ordinary consumers are paying a heavy price, as cash itself now carries extra costs and everyday transactions become harder. Observers describe the shortage as another layer of hardship on top of the blockade's economic pressures.
Why now: Renewed attention to Gaza's humanitarian and economic crisis is drawing focus to the worsening cash shortage.
