Food Shortage In Israel Prompts Long Lines And Rationing
In Tel Aviv a food shortage forces residents to queue for essentials like meat soap and eggs. Rations supply five ounces of meat per person weekly and eggs vary with the season.

Immigrant intake drives austerity, religious rulings limit nonkosher meat imports, and many gift food packages arrive from abroad, often prepaid by consulates or companies. The canned meat staple dominates these packages.
