Gazan Farmers Speak Out

Zaytoun on February 9th, 2009

On Saturday 7th February, international human rights workers once again accompanied farmers in al-Farahin, Abassan, in the south of the Gaza Strip as they successfully harvested their crop of peas in the shadow of the Green Line. This followed attacks from the Israeli military in recent days, as reported by the International Solidarity Movement. Farmers were interviewed about their experiences and an eyewitness spoke about the fatal shooting of local farm worker, Anwar Il Ibrim, on 27th January in the same field.
