How Israel has decimated local food production in Gaza

Before Israel launched its war on Gaza, about 42 percent of the Strip’s land was used for crops.

According to FAO,

Nearly 70 percent of cropland – which contributed up to one-third of daily consumption – has been destroyed.

More than 70 percent of olive trees and orchards have been burned to the ground.

About 95 percent of cattle and more than half of sheep and goat herds have died.
