A packet of India’s beloved Parle-G biscuits, which usually costs just ₹5, is reportedly being sold for a staggering ₹500 in war-torn Gaza. The news broke after a viral post showed a photo of the biscuit pack with a shocking price tag, sparking emotional reactions across social media.
The post highlights the devastating humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, where access to basic necessities like food and water has become a major challenge. Due to the ongoing conflict, prices of everyday items have skyrocketed, making even the simplest food items unaffordable for many.
Parle-G, known for its affordability and presence in Indian households for decades, has now become a symbol of the struggle faced by civilians in conflict zones. Many users expressed heartbreak and anger over the situation, with some calling for stronger global intervention and humanitarian support.
The viral image not only stirred emotions but also drew attention to the real impact of war on innocent lives, especially children who are among the most affected.
