UN: Just 3% of Gaza's farmland accessible
The United Nations has warned of the worsening state of agricultural land in Gaza Strip, where a study confirms that only 3% of arable land remains intact and accessible to farmers. This situation is mainly due to expanding military blockade areas and restrictions on access. The area of cultivable land has decreased from 601 hectares in October 2025 to 448 hectares in June 2026, a decline of 25.5% over eight months. Additionally, 27% of the land remains accessible, but most of it is severely damaged, and a quarter of the agricultural land outside the reach of farmers in Rafah, in the southern sector, threatens food security and weakens agricultural production, which accounted for approximately 10% of Gaza’s economy before the war. The UN warns that ongoing restrictions undermine the prospects for restoring full agricultural activity, with shortages of fertilizers, seeds, and fuel, further exacerbating the region’s food crisis.
