Gaza’s transport system is severely damaged by Israel’s war. A report by the World Bank, EU, and UN estimates losses of $2.5 billion in infrastructure. About 81% of Gaza’s roads are damaged or destroyed, isolating many areas and stopping basic transport services. Every day, professor Hassan El-Nabih rides his bicycle looking for electricity and internet to teach students online. His car was ruined in an airstrike in December 2023. No cars and scarce fuel forced him and many others to adapt. Many streets lie blocked by rubble or are too risky. Abu Mohammed Jundieh said, “Even walking is difficult now.” Fuel is expensive or unavailable, and transport fares are tough to pay because money is worn and drivers often refuse it. Bicycles have become key but rare. Abu Luay Haniyeh, who runs a bike repair shop on Gaza City’s Jalaa Street, says no new bikes are for sale. Repair is all he can offer. Bikes that were under $200 now cost over $1,000. Hamama Delivery, once a motorbike and car courier, now uses only bicycles due to fuel shortages and vehicle damage. Their workforce grew as jobless residents sought work delivering food and goods. Manager Abu Nasser al-Yazji shared that they now deliver for about 10 hours daily instead of around the clock. Delivery rider Ahmad, 23, who paused his law studies due to the war, relies on his bike for income. "If you don’t have a bicycle, you’re nearly stuck," he said. The transport crisis leaves Gaza’s residents facing tough choices. With roads ruined and vehicles down, bicycles pedal hope amid the rubble.
