I am Rania from Gaza. Hello everyone, I will talk to you about a little-known sector in Gaza, which is agriculture, before the war... I am the daughter of a farmer.

1. Before 2000:

Agriculture was at its peak, with exports abroad (especially to Israel and Arab markets via crossings).

Good use of groundwater and great diversity in crops.

2. After 2007:

Agriculture was damaged due to restrictions on agricultural materials (fertilizers, seeds, plastic).

Repeated wars led to the destruction of large areas of agricultural land, especially near

"According to Fayyad Fayyad, the head of the Palestinian Olive Council, Gaza’s olive sector is “almost completely destroyed.”

“There is no olive season this year,” Fayyad told Drop Site. “We estimate that nearly one million of Gaza’s 1.1 million olive trees have been destroyed.” In 2022, Gaza produced about 50,000 tons of olives. This year, Fayyad said, the total will be well under a thousand. “The destruction is deliberate,” he said. “Israel aims to eliminate the agricultural sector, including olives. What remains are scattered trees—not groves, not production.”

Fayyad’s olive council is preparing a plan to rebuild the olive sector if the ceasefire holds and the war ends—beginning with soil testing to detect contamination from munitions and rebuilding irrigation networks. The government of Tunisia has pledged 180,000 olive saplings to Gaza once conditions allow.

But replanting will take years. “The olive tree is slow to grow,” Fayyad says. “It takes patience—and peace—for it to bear fruit again.”

Despite the devastation, Gaza’s farmers are returning to their olive groves—to water, to prune, to salvage whatever life remains.

“The olive tree is the story of Palestine,” Abdel-Nabi said. “Even when it burns, it still stands in our hearts.”"
