Gaza Palm Farmers Face Heavy Losses

Palmerie farmers in Gaza face significant losses this palm season due to the occupation bulldozing large areas of agricultural land, damage to agricultural infrastructure, and shortages of water, fertilizers, and pesticides. These factors have led to a decline in palm production, fruit quantity, and quality, with available dates decreasing by up to 15%, and the season's duration being cut in half. Additionally, damage to trees and destruction of storage facilities have reduced employment opportunities, while the prices of water and fodder have risen, further exacerbating the economic suffering of farmers. The total losses in Gaza's agricultural sector are estimated to exceed $3 billion following the recent war, highlighting the severe difficulties faced by agriculture in the region due to ongoing military escalation and imposed restrictions.
