Gaza's Government Media Office said Israeli forces destroyed more than 87 percent of the territory's agricultural land during the war, affecting an area of 182,247 dunams, Shehab Wire reported. The office stated that occupation forces destroyed or targeted 8,700 wells across the enclave.
The destruction of Gaza's agricultural infrastructure has compounded a severe humanitarian crisis in the territory, where fighting has disrupted food production and supply chains.
