Piece for "Letters to the Sun" (compilation)
Funds go to help Revive Gaza’s Farmland, a project by Golo Besmlah and the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature. The initiative works to rehabilitate devastated agricultural land and rebuild local food systems in Gaza. In a place where over 95% of farmland has been systematically destroyed - and where food is weaponised to subjugate and displace - the act of farming becomes an act of resistance.
