In the aftermath of prolonged conflict, Gaza faces severe challenges to food security and infrastructure. Amid these hardships, urban farming has emerged as a powerful response, with residents transforming rooftops, gardens, and shelter areas into cultivated spaces. This community-driven initiative supports families by providing fresh produce despite disrupted supply chains and rising prices. At the heart of this movement is Salama Mhanna and his daughter Hanadi, who sustain a seed bank from a temporary tent after their original facility was destroyed in 2024. Their work focuses on preserving native plant varieties, safeguarding agricultural traditions that are vital to the region’s identity and long-term recovery.
