About the series: In the land from where the eyes can see the Israeli border, Palestinian farmers try to make their living producing agricultural goods. The 2014 War that Israel called ‘Operation Protective Edge’ has left the majority of Gazan farmers living in the buffer zone with their houses demolished or their land bulldozed – in worst cases, both. After the war, I returned to Gaza, to work with the same families I’ve worked with in 2013, and the comparison was devastating.
