More than 26.9% of Israeli households are facing food insecurity, a significant increase attributed to the two-year war in Gaza, according to a report by the humanitarian organization Latet.

The cost of living has risen sharply, with many aid recipients reporting severe financial and mental health challenges. Despite the ceasefire with Hamas, the economic and social fallout continues to deepen across Israeli society.
