UN: Just 3% of Gaza’s arable land available
The United Nations has reported that the majority of agricultural land in Gaza Strip is being destroyed, with only 3% remaining suitable for farming due to the genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation. This situation threatens food security in the area. Data shows that the area of arable land decreased from 601 hectares in October 2025 to 448 hectares in June 2026, a reduction of 25.5% over eight months. There has been severe deterioration in Rafah, where more than 97% of the land has become inaccessible to farmers. Farmers are facing a severe shortage of fertilizers, seeds, and fuel, along with extensive damage to agricultural facilities, all of which threaten the recovery of food production and increase the risk of famine in the sector.
