Israel floods Gaza farmland with rainwater

Monday 10-February-2020

Israeli occupation forces on Monday pumped large amounts of rainwater into agricultural lands east of besieged Gaza.

Union of Agricultural Work Committees said in a statement that Israeli occupation forces opened rainwater dams along the border with the besieged Gaza Strip causing farmlands east of Gaza City to sink.

This is the fifth time this season Israeli forces have caused damage to large amounts of crops in the already-starved Gaza.

This repeated move has caused Palestinian farmers in Gaza losses estimated at half a million dollars according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
