Synopsis:
The Gaza Strip, a narrow coastal region in the Middle East, shares borders with Israel and Egypt. Out of its 36 410 ha1, 42% (15 053 ha) is used for cropland. The ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip has resulted in significant damage to the agricultural sector (cropland, greenhouse, agricultural infrastructure, agricultural wells, solar panels and others).This document compiles damage assessments conducted by FAO and UNOSAT across various indicators in the Gaza Strip from October 7th 2023 to September 1st 2024, utilizing very high resolution and high-resolution satellite imagery and data from FAO Palestine, Agriculture Census2 and UNOSAT for comprehensive evaluations of agricultural and infrastructure impacts.
