Agriculture made up about 32 percent of land use in Gaza before the war, and played a central role in the besieged enclave’s economy, along with an important part of Palestinian cultural identity.
By the end of October 2025, Israel destroyed 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland and 75% of its greenhouses.
This destruction will have horrific long-term environmental impacts on Gaza.
