Cost of sack of flour in Gaza down from NIS 1,800 at peak of war to NIS 95 ‐ reports
[IsraelTimes] Some two weeks after the Israel Defense Forces withdrew all of its maneuvering ground forces from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, and a day after photos of Paleostinians enjoying the beach caused a buzz in Hebrew media, reports point to signs of life returning to normal in areas including the north of the Strip, Gaza City, and the southern city of Khan Younis.

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli defense Ministry unit responsible for liaising with the Paleostinians, shares a post showing market scenes in northern Gaza.

Photos from Gaza markets show stalls with a variety of vegetables in stock including tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, onions, along with staples such as eggs, spices and flour.

Channel 12 quotes Gaza photographer Ayman Amriti as saying that the price of a 25-kilogram (55-pound) sack of flour has come down from NIS 1,800 ($475) at the peak of the war to NIS 95 ($25) — though most people are struggling financially.

A carton of 30 eggs is reportedly now being sold in Gaza for NIS 38 ($10), down from NIS 10 ($2.50) per egg a month ago.

The Channel 12 report adds that meat, snacks, and watermelon is also available in Gaza.

COGAT said earlier this week that 23 bakeries currently operating in Gaza are producing some three million pita breads every day.

NIS 10 ($2.50) per egg a month ago.

Pretty sure a fourfold increase in price makes it go up, not down. Who writes these f'n things?

#10 I was told there would be no math this morning!

I still think it's a poorly written / unclear sentence.

#12 I still think it's a poorly written / unclear sentence.

Yet another example of journalistic numerical bullshit. It is common to see mixed comparisons, like between a percentage and a count. Example: last year's murder rate in Big City was 17 per 100,000. This year, 43 people have died.

#13 Yes. Such a common piece of malpractice, a guy wrote a whole book about it.
