Summary
According to a UN assessment, less than five percent of Gaza’s agricultural land is cultivable due to extensive damage and access restrictions, raising famine risks for half a million people. The assessment highlights that over 80 percent of agricultural land has been damaged, with nearly 688 hectares available for cultivation, primarily due to Israeli restrictions following an 11-week blockade. The situation is dire, particularly in Rafah and northern areas where most cropland remains inaccessible, exacerbated by the destruction of greenhouses and wells.
