VOICED: Fresh-cut flowers from Gaza

After two years, flower farmers in Gaza resume exports to Europe following the lifting of an Israeli blockade. The blockade had previously caused significant financial losses and halted flower exports. A new agreement involving the Netherlands has enabled over a million flowers to reach Europe, with Dutch experts aiding production. However, strawberry farmers face ongoing challenges due to crop damage and delayed export permits. Despite these difficulties, maintaining a presence in the European market is crucial for Gaza's agricultural sector, and the end of the blockade is seen as a victory.
