The agricultural extension office in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, reported that planting of major fall crops faces delays as farmers worry about acute shortages of agricultural supplies and soaring prices, Shehab Wire said. The office did not specify which crops or supplies were most affected, or provide a timeline for when planting might resume.
Autumn planting typically begins in Gaza during September and October. The supply crisis threatens harvests scheduled for winter and spring months, when fresh produce becomes scarce in the territory.
