Heavy losses have been inflicted on the agricultural crops of Palestinian farmers in the blockaded Gaza Strip as a result of the freezing temperatures rocking the area.
A Thursday statement released by the Ministry of Agriculture quoted the farmers as stating that hundreds of hoop houses have fallen apart as a result of the stormy winds that have hit the besieged enclave of Gaza.
The ministry declared a state of emergency and tasked a committee with following up on the damage wrought on Gaza’s agricultural output.
