South Lebanon residents face olive harvest challenges
Farmers in South Lebanon are facing significant difficulties during the olive harvest season due to occupation forces' restrictions that prevent access to their fields, despite an abundant crop compared to previous years. The occupation measures, including the imposition of visas, lists of names, and limits on the number of workers, hinder the collection of the harvest, which is a main source of livelihood for the local communities. This is especially troubling as a large part of the olive groves have been destroyed due to occupation assaults. Nevertheless, laboratory tests conducted in Spain confirmed that the quality of the oil remains high and free of pollutants, despite ongoing threats and destruction of agricultural infrastructure. These challenges threaten food security, impact the local economies, and reflect the residents' determination to persist and rebuild despite extensive damages.
