For four years running, a Palestinian family in Gaza has been unable to harvest their olives due to ongoing conflict, according to We Are Not Numbers. The repeated disruption has prevented them from gathering the crop that typically sustains their livelihood during the season.
Olive farming has long been central to Palestinian life and income across Gaza, and the family's losses reflect the broader impact of prolonged warfare on the territory's agricultural sector.
