Local farmers in the Palestinian coastal enclave of Gaza are struggling to harvest essential wheat due to the severe impact of climate change on their crops. The annual wheat yield has dropped by 1,000 tons to 4,000 tons this year, attributed to delayed winters and unreliable rainfall. High temperatures have significantly reduced wheat production, with less than a quarter of the previous quantity being grown.

Farmers face immense financial losses, earning only $15 a day for eight hours of work due to the high unemployment rate in Gaza. To address these challenges, farmers suggest implementing strategic plans and training workshops to overcome the adverse conditions. The changing climate in Gaza, characterized by hot summers, cold winters, and altered spring seasons, has intensified the crisis.
