Background Information FAO’s recent satellite data analysis reveals a continuous increase in damaged agricultural land, with over half the land damaged across the Gaza Strip or more than 57 percent as of May 2024. Of these damaged lands, approximately 61 percent are orchards, 19 percent are vegetables and 20 percent are cereals.

The data indicates that heavy vehicle tracks, razing, shelling and other conflict-related pressures have significantly damaged agricultural infrastructure in the Gaza Strip.
