UN efforts to support olive harvest season in Occupied Palestinian Territory

The Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, Muhannad Hadi, highlighted concerns related to the upcoming olive harvest while leading a diplomatic visit to Kifl Haris village in the Salfit governorate, alongside humanitarian and development partners.
Mr. Hadi stressed that the annual olive harvest is a key economic, social and cultural event for Palestinians, and that last year, nearly 10,000 hectares of olive groves remained unharvested. The Humanitarian Coordinator has allocated $750,000 from the Humanitarian Fund to support olive farmers this year, saying they must have unimpeded and safe access to their groves.
