Gaza farmers fight to revive agriculture after 15 months of war
The city of Beit Lahiya in the north of Gaza once supplied 60 percent of fruits and vegetables to the Strip.
It also exported strawberries to the occupied West Bank, Israel and Europe. But 15 months of Israel’s war have left its farmland in ruins.
Now, farmers attempting to reclaim their fields are facing major challenges.
