Скачать или смотреть Gaza’s grape harvest suffers under climate change

Gaza’s grape production has taken a hit this year, a decline that growers and experts attribute to climate change.

According to one farmer, a grape tree that yielded 100kg last year is not even producing 10kg this season.

Gaza’s agriculture sector, which creates thousands of jobs, suffers as hot seasons get longer while rainy seasons get shorter.

Israel’s occupation of Gaza further compounds the issue as access to water is controlled and restricted by Israeli authorities.

The climate conditions and water scarcity will potentially force Gazan farmers to change crops or dismiss staff to make ends meet, further driving up unemployment.
