Israel's military operations have reduced olive tree cultivation in Gaza from two million trees to approximately 150,000, the Electronic Intifada reported. The collapse has devastated the harvest season, once a cornerstone of Palestinian agricultural production and livelihoods in the territory.
The decimation of olive groves represents a broader destruction of Gaza's agricultural infrastructure during the ongoing conflict. Olive cultivation has historically provided income and food security for thousands of farming families across the territory.
