Last night I noted that the price for construction materials in Gaza have gone way down, mostly from increased imports through Kerem Shalom.

Now, we are learning that pretty much everything else in Gaza is cheap as well.

Goods that are selling at a discount in Gaza now include chocolate, nuts, beans, meat and both Feta and Bulgarian(!) cheeses.

The reason seems to be because the Egyptian pound has lost so much value so smuggled goods have become cheaper.

Keep in mind, though, that these price discounts are even after the recent Egyptian crackdown on smuggling tunnels.

Here are recent photos, all from this year, of the Saka supermarket in Gaza:







In other "siege" news, recently Israel allowed Gaza factories to export furniture to Egypt via Kerem Shalom.

And Egypt closed their border to Gaza for the third consecutive day.
