Israeli limits on essential and so-called “dual-purpose” goods have worsened severe shortages in Gaza, pushing Palestinians to repair, reuse and recycle items to keep earning a living. Local craftsmen fix old batteries, tyres and other costly or hard-to-replace goods; new tyres reportedly cost up to $2,000, compared with about $60 before the war.
