UN warns of Gaza food crisis
The United Nations has revealed that the amount of arable land suitable for use in Gaza has dwindled to merely about 3% due to strict military restrictions, threatening a collapse in food production. According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Satellite Center, the available arable land has decreased from 601 hectares last October to 448 hectares this June, representing a 25.5% decline over eight months. Farmers are suffering a significant reduction in access to their lands; 97% of the land outside their control in Rafah remains inaccessible. Additionally, there is a severe shortage of fertilizers, seeds, and fuel, which jeopardizes food security in an area that was supporting over 560,000 people before the war. The UN warns that ongoing conditions could lead to a complete collapse of Gaza's food system.
