Agriculture in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip (such as Khazaa, Abasan, Bani Suhaila, Al-Fakhari, Juhor Al-Dik, East Gaza, and Beit Hanoun) is one of the most important economic activities, as it has fertile land close to the Gaza Valley and the eastern border. Here are the details in an organized manner:

3. In recent years:

The emergence of hydroponics in eastern Gaza and Rafah to reduce water consumption.

Support projects from international organizations (FAO, UNDP) to rehabilitate cultivated land and establish new wells.

Improvement of drip irrigation methods and use of solar
energy to operate wells.

Preparations are underway to plant strawberries in the)
northern regions, specifically in a yellow zone that was confiscated by the Israeli army.)

Here's an alt-text description of the image:

The image shows two people in what appears to be the interior of a vehicle. On the left is a person with dark hair and a pink floral dress, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. To the right, partially visible, is another person with light hair covered by a light blue scarf, and they are smiling. The background is slightly blurred and appears to be the inside of a car with a dark ceiling. A circular object is visible in the lower-left corner of the frame, possibly a steering wheel cover.

A person is crouched down in what appears to be a dimly lit, enclosed space. The space has a dirt floor and is partially covered by a tan fabric material hanging from the ceiling and walls. Several dark pots and pans are arranged on the floor to the left, and various pieces of debris are scattered around the space. The person is wearing a blue and white patterned long-sleeved garment and reddish-brown footwear. Sunlight streams into the space from the right, creating bright highlights on the floor and casting shadows.
