Due to war, under 5% of Gaza cropland useable for farming: UN

Under five percent of Gaza’s farmland is useable due to war, further exacerbating the risk of famine in the devastated Palestinian territory, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization said Monday. By the end of April, more than 80 percent of the farmland was damaged and 77.8 percent was no longer accessible, leaving barely 4.6 percent of potentially arable land, according to a new satellite assessment released by FAO.
