Gaza's agricultural ministry has documented $6.27 million in losses sustained by the grape sector due to the ongoing war, the Ma'an news agency reported. The damage encompasses destroyed vineyards, harvesting equipment, storage facilities, and related agricultural infrastructure across the territory.
Grapes represent a significant agricultural product for Gaza's economy and have historically served as an export commodity. The sector's collapse threatens livelihoods for farmers who depend on viticulture and related agribusiness activities. Agricultural officials have yet to detail the full scope of recovery efforts or timeline for sector rehabilitation.
