El Kef Suffers Crop Damage from Recent Rains
Heavy rainfall accompanied by hailstones that fell on the Kasserine Governorate during Friday and Saturday, 2026, caused significant agricultural damage, particularly to olive, apple, and vegetable crops. The amount of rain exceeded 20 to 33 millimeters in various areas, with hail destroying up to 90% of the olive harvest in some regions. In addition, several wells were damaged due to the floods. Certain areas, such as the Fériana delegation, experienced damage reaching 90% to their olive crops, while other regions recorded losses ranging from 20% to 50% in agricultural produce. Experts discussed how the hail phenomenon has been increasing and is still not covered by agricultural insurance, leaving farmers to bear their losses personally, despite the importance of the rainfall, which comes at a time when lands are being prepared for the new season after periods of drought.
