Palestinian Olive Harvests Affected by Occupation
The article discusses the deterioration of the olive harvest season in Palestine due to the escalation of Israeli aggression. The occupation has destroyed approximately 90% of olive trees in the Gaza Strip and damaged or ripped out 285,000 trees in the West Bank over the past three years. The occupation's control and restrictions on access to the land have caused economic losses exceeding 316 million dollars, severely impacting olive farmers by reducing production. The number of active farmers in Gaza has declined from 6,000 to around 500. These measures are part of the occupation's efforts to fragment the economic backbone of farmers and convert agricultural lands into unproductive lands or "state lands" for further settlement expansion.
