How Israel destroyed Gaza's ability to feed itself

Al Jazeera  

At the start of summer, Gaza's fields are usually bursting with ripening crops and fruits of all colours, scents and sizes. Satellite images analysed by Al Jazeera's digital investigation team, Sanad show that more than half of Gaza's farmland, crucial for feeding the war-ravaged territory’s hungry population, has been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks. North Gaza In Beit Lahiya, once known for plump, juicy strawberries that locals fondly called "red gold", Israeli bulldozers and heavy machinery have systematically razed fields, reducing them to dirt. Gaza City Thriving garden patches and back-yard fruit trees once dotted Gaza City, home to about a third of Gaza’s 2.3 million population before the war. Deir el-Balah Its very name meaning "House of Dates", the central governorate of Deir el-Balah is one of Gaza’s largest agricultural producers, known for its oranges, olives and - of course - dates.
