[17 Feb 2014] Palestinian farmers suffering under Israel blockade airstrikes - English
An Israeli blockade, repeated airstrikes targeting their lands, and an Israeli threat on their lives along the no-go buffer zone; this is the story of Palestinian farmers in Gaza.Palestinian farmlands have been the target of many Israeli attacks during the years. The airstrikes and bombings have polluted the farmers\' lands, making it unsuitable for healthy plant cultivations.The misery of Gaza\'s farmers does not stop here as they lack the needed machinery and seeds and Israel does not allow them to export their goods to the outside world. The Ministry of Health and the farmers in Gaza have called on the international community and human rights organizations to end Israel\'s continuous attacks on Palestinian farmers and civilians.As the Israeli blockade and airstrikes on the coastal enclave continue, farmers in Gaza are the ones to pay the price.
