"Most land left to Palestinians after the ceasefire isn't arable, while most fertile land is under Israeli control. As part of the October 10 ceasefire, Israeli troops pulled back to the so-called yellow line in Gaza. But Palestinians were left with mostly non-arable land, while fertile farmland behind the line remains under Israeli control. So what does a ceasefire mean if Palestinians are denied the land they need to grow their food?"

Following the October 10 ceasefire, Israeli forces pulled back to the so-called yellow line in Gaza. Palestinians were left with territory that is predominantly non-arable, while the most fertile farmland stayed under Israeli control behind that line. The unequal distribution of cultivable land prevents many Palestinians from growing food, rebuilding agricultural livelihoods, and regaining food self-sufficiency. Limited access to productive fields increases dependence on external aid and deepens long-term food insecurity. A ceasefire that returns limited territory but withholds fertile land does not restore the agricultural capacity necessary for recovery.
