The article discusses the efforts of farmers in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza Strip, to reclaim their farmland that was destroyed by war, particularly the land located just meters from the "Yellow Line," which resulted in the destruction of 20,000 dunams of land. After the fighting stopped, the farmers began to use their tools and persist in restoring life to their land, despite significant challenges such as infrastructure destruction, water shortages, and difficulties in obtaining seeds and agricultural supplies due to occupation restrictions. It took about 40 days to clear and rehabilitate the land, with attempts to compensate for seed shortages by preserving local seeds and replanting them. They also reopened a historic well that is over 100 years old after repairing it, even though more than 80% of the wells have been damaged. Agriculture faces difficulties in regaining its capacity, as approximately $40 million is needed to fully rehabilitate the sector. Despite these hardships, around 900 dunams have been restored to production and expanded, including the creation of home gardens to provide food for families. The farmers continue working despite the risks, as for them, agriculture is more than just a livelihood; it is part of their identity and their connection to the land.
