Around 15% of the population of the West Bank rely economically on the olive harvest. However, due to violence and restrictions on movements, farmers faced many challenges to harvest their olive in 2024 in the West Bank. A World Vision’s survey shows that, in 1 in 4 village of the Central West Bank, farmers are expecting to lose more than half of their harvest. It will have a major impact on their livelihood, increasing food insecurity. We say ENOUGH. All children have the right to live free of violence and hunger.
