With more than half of Gaza’s farmland damaged by conflict and ongoing blockades restricting imports, Action Against Hunger, a global nonprofit leader in the movement to end hunger, today announced a significant scale-up in its support of local farmers. The effort is designed to mitigate the impact of massive, conflict-driven displacement, which has affected the entire 2.1 million population of Gaza. Action Against Hunger has been operating in Gaza since 2005 and is currently distributing food, promoting local agriculture, and implementing training programs to help families in Gaza grow fruit and vegetables.
