Gaza Family Rebuilds Seed Bank in Tent to Restore Farming Amid Blockade

A Palestinian family in Deir al-Balah is rebuilding Gaza's only seed bank in a tent after the original was destroyed in the war, preserving local seed varieties for farmers. The initiative has aided about 200 farmers, but access to land is limited and imports of seeds and fertilizers remain blocked, exacerbating food insecurity for over a million people. This grassroots effort highlights the fragility of agricultural recovery in a conflict zone.
