Gaza's arable land percentage declines
The agricultural lands in the Gaza Strip are experiencing a severe decline due to the changes in the course of the Green Line caused by the Israeli occupation forces. The area of arable land decreased from 601 hectares in October to 448 hectares at the end of June, a reduction of 25.5%. The occupation’s destruction of more than 94% of the agricultural lands since the genocidal war of 2023 has led to the devastation of over 178,000 dunams, with hundreds of thousands of trees and vineyards damaged. The cultivated areas have significantly shrunk, and the annual vegetable production has declined sharply, particularly the grape crop, which decreased from 6,500 dunams producing nearly 8,000 tons to 676 dunams producing 500 tons, respectively. The farmers’ losses amount to approximately $6.27 million. The agricultural sector in Gaza faces enormous challenges in restoring most of the damaged crops and agricultural resources.
