Gaza’s farmland systematically erased by Israel's war on Gaza

Only 1.5 % (232 ha) of cropland remains usable after 86 % was deliberately destroyed and 13% is kept off-limits, leaving 2 million Palestinians on the brink of famine. This is not collateral damage—it is systematic #domicide: the calculated dismantling of Gaza’s food system, livelihoods, and future.

Evidence & #FAO/#UNOSAT data:

Hats off to The Guardian for bucking the trend and embedding the direct link in the article instead of gatekeeping the data. No sanitized summary—just straight access to the evidence. That should be a non-negotiable for any self-respecting news outlet. theguardian.com/world/2025/aug

openknowledge.fao.orgLand available for cultivation in the Gaza Strip as of 28 July 2025The area available for cultivation is the area that is not damaged and not subject to access restrictions. The damaged area was assessed as of 28 July 2025 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT), based on the cropland dataset for 2023. The area accessible was determined by excluding the so-called no-go areas in place and the areas subject to evacuation orders since 18 March 2025 (the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA], July 2025).

The mathematics of starvation: how Israel caused a famine in Gaza

The Israeli government knows how much food is needed in Gaza. It has been calibrating hunger levels for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert pressure while avoiding #Starvation

A heartbreaking story from Gaza by an American soldier:

Amir, a skinny, barefoot boy, walked 12 kilometers in the scorching sun for a handful of rice and lentils.

He kissed my hand and said, “Thank you.”

A few minutes later, Israeli forces opened fire.

Amir was killed instantly.

No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, #Israeli Military Officials Say

#Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.

The military officials who spoke to the NYT said that the original #UN aid operation was relatively reliable and less vulnerable to #Hamas interference than the operations of many of the other groups bringing aid into #Gaza. That’s largely because the #UnitedNations managed its own supply chain and handled distribution directly inside Gaza.

An Account in #Gaza describe the current state of #Hunger Under Israeli Siege

This morning, we ground lentils & mixed them with some flour to make bread for my family. Each of my 7 family members receives only 1 loaf of bread, for the whole day. This is the bitter reality we face, the price of flour has reached 150 shekels (about $42)

The director of the Palestinian NGOs Network, Amjad Shawa, described the reports of starving people arriving at Gaza hospitals as evidence of the failure of the so-called American aid centers (GHF) to meet humanitarian needs while criticizing it for serving Israel’s "political-military agenda" calling the centers a "mechanism for killing".

“..Everything is run out,” Shawa continues to explain how desperate Palestinians are forced to make dangerous journeys to its distribution hub where many have been killed.

In an interview with Arab48, published on Thursday, lawyer Gheed Kassem said that the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, located north of the #Gaza Strip, had faced severe physical assault that resulted in bruising to his head, neck, rib cage, and back.

When Dr #AbuSafiya requested medical assistance for complications stemming from the beatings, including an irregular heartbeat, his request was denied.
