Aerial image shows Gaza's agricultural areas lost due to Israel's redeployment

An aerial image from the 1960s reveals that the "yellow line" marking Israel"s redeployment in Gaza aligns closely with the border of the area"s coastal sand dune. This alignment has resulted in Gaza losing a significant portion of its agricultural areas, particularly on the fertile soils located in the eastern region of the territory.

The image, shared by Eyal Weizman, highlights the geographical implications of the redeployment, which has left Gaza without the majority of its agricultural land. This loss is critical given the importance of these areas for local food production and economic stability.

For further context on the ongoing situation in the region, recent developments in related political agreements can be found in reports such as this article on Jared Kushner"s role in Israel-Hamas agreement decisions.

As the situation continues to evolve, understanding the historical context of land use and agricultural loss remains essential for comprehending current events in Gaza.
