The Gaza Strip, known for decades for its farms stretching from the northern town of Beit Lahiya to the southern city of Rafah, is reportedly experiencing one of the greatest agricultural collapses in its history. The situation is further exacerbated by the near-total absence of vital inputs such as fuel, seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, and agricultural protection materials. The Israeli army destroyed more than 94 percent of the region's 178,000 acres of agricultural land. This destruction reduced the annual agricultural production capacity from 405,000 tons to approximately 28,000 tons, according to data from the Government Media Office in Gaza. Agricultural sector suffered approximately $2.8 billion in damage as a result of Israel's two-year attacks, according to a report by the media office published on Oct. 6. Findings revealed that after two years of destruction, vegetable-cultivated agricultural areas fell from 93,000 acres to just 4,000 acres. During the same period, the Israeli army rendered 1,233 agricultural wells unusable and destroyed more than 85 percent of greenhouses. Farmers emphasized that reopening Gaza’s border crossings and allowing the entry of all agricultural supplies—particularly seeds and irrigation equipment—is an “urgent necessity” to revive the devastated sector. Hamas and Israel reached the ceasefire last week, as part of US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the war, release all hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, deliver aid and rebuild Gaza. Since October 2023, Israeli attacks have killed over 67,800 Palestinians in the enclave, most of them women and children, and rendered it largely uninhabitable.
