Gaza's Olive Trees Devastated, Halving Harvest and Raising Prices

Gaza's olive tree population has been reduced from two million to an estimated 150,000 due to widespread destruction, significantly impacting the local harvest and economy. Olive groves, once a source of food and income, have been bulldozed or are inaccessible, leading to a drastic drop in olive and oil production. Prices for the scarce commodity have tripled, making it unaffordable for many families, while the number of functioning olive presses has fallen from 40 to seven. The devastation has also severely limited seasonal employment opportunities for workers.
