Gaza Strip: Ceasefire opens window for rehabilitation as over a third of cropland becomes accessible
New FAO-UNOSAT analysis findings show increased damage to cropland, greenhouses, and agricultural wells
Rome –The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT) today released new geospatial analysis revealing extensive and worsening damage to the agricultural sector in the Gaza Strip. The findings show widespread destruction of cropland, greenhouses, irrigation wells, and other agricultural infrastructure – assets essential for food production and livelihoods. Overall, Gaza’s agricultural base has been devastated, but the current ceasefire has created a narrow and time-sensitive opening to begin restoring food production and livelihoods.
