At the heart of one of the world’s most densely populated and conflict-stricken regions, agriculture in the Gaza Strip serves as a lifeline for over two million people. It is not only a source of food, but also a vital expression of Palestinian cultural and economic identity. Since October 7, 2023, this sector has been subjected to systematic destruction, including the bulldozing of farmland, bombing of greenhouses, killing of livestock, and drying up of water sources — constituting a grave violation of international humanitarian law.

This report documents this systematic devastation, analyzes its humanitarian, economic, and environmental consequences, and issues an urgent call to the international community to halt this “green genocide” and support the reconstruction of the agricultural sector as an essential pillar of justice and sustainable peace.
