Report: Gaza's farming system has collapsed
by editors@theworld.org (Shirin Jaafari) from The World: Latest Stories on (#75GCM)
Only 4% of Gaza's farmlands remain accessible to its residents for farming, according to a new report by the NGO Mercy Corps. The rest have either been damaged in war or are under Israeli control. That means people in Gaza are not able to grow their own crops, leaving them even more reliant on outside aid. The World's Shirin Jaafari tells Host Carolyn Beeler that if current conditions continue, it will take years, maybe decades, to rehabilitate the destroyed croplands.
