> Gaza farmers are trying to restore food production on tiny patches of land despite severe shortages of water, fertiliser and pesticides and the destruction of more than 80% of greenhouses. Farmers in Beit Lahiya say relatives were killed while working, while the Israeli Defense Forces deny targeting civilians. Local cultivation has lowered some vegetable prices, but 1.4 million people still face crisis-level food insecurity or worse.
