Displaced Gaza farmers are turning to growing crops in dirt near their tents as a means of sustenance due to restrictions on cultivating land in the occupied territory. In the Sheikh Ijlin neighbourhood of Gaza City, once famous for its grapevines and fig trees, farmers like Abu Fares are using makeshift gardens to grow seasonal crops. Despite the challenges posed by Israeli occupation and the blockade of Gaza, these farmers continue to find ways to cultivate and produce food. This grassroots effort serves as a testament to the resilience of Gazan farmers in the face of adversity.
