Tomorrow (5 June) marks the start of the Israeli occupation of the
Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip that began in 1967. Nearly half a
century on, the occupation continues to have a devastating impact on the
daily lives of Palestinians.
Our
latest infographic "A Stolen Yield" highlights the plight of Palestinian
farming, with economic losses amounting to at least $2.2 billion each
year. These losses result from Israeli land expropriation, severe
restrictions on water and fertiliser use, and restrictions on
international trade.
At the same time, Israeli settlers benefit
from farming stolen land in the West Bank, and Israelis exploit over 80%
of the water extracted each year from the mountain aquifer in the
occupied West Bank.
