    I’m still baffled about how in a place that is completely blocked off from the outside world and the entire population is being starved, money is still a factor in their lives.

      Groups like the Israeli backed Abu Shabab gang are making millions by stealing food and then selling it on the black market.

      Many people outside Gaza donate to charities which send money to Gazans so they can buy this food. It is a perverse incentive.
