Gaza Loses Olive Trees Again
The destruction caused by Israeli war efforts in Gaza's olive sector has led to the loss of around 90% of agricultural lands. Olive production has plummeted from 40,000 tons annually to approximately 5,000 tons, and the number of trees has decreased from two million to 150,000. This has caused a significant rise in olive prices, with the price of a kilogram of green olives reaching 40 shekels and black olives 60 shekels. Additionally, a 20-liter can of olive oil now costs over 1,000 shekels, compared to $100 before the war. Continued shelling and occupation operations have destroyed the production base of the crop and reduced the number of mills and farmers, further exacerbating the suffering of residents in the sector and impacting food security.
