Palestinian Amune Abu Rajila, 72, worked in her fields in the Gaza Strip on Saturday 15 October, the International Day of Rural Women.

Video shows Abu Rajila planting and harvesting vegetables from her field in Khan Younis on the day the UN has declared as dedicated to women like her.

Agricultural self-reliance has become a vital part of life in the Gaza Strip, which is under a strict Israeli embargo that heavily restricts what can enter or leave the territory.

The work of women like Amune Abu Rajila has also become more important as the rising cost of living hits residents of Gaza.

She spoke about her experience (in Arabic).
