Morocco’s Bayt Mal Al-Quds Agency has agreed to fund a project aimed at empowering Palestinian farmers in the Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Governate.
The assistance comes at a critical time for farmers in and around Al-Quds facing challenges to remain on their land, which is increasingly surrounded by illegal Israeli settlements.
Responding on the gesture, the Palestinian Minister of Agriculture, Rizk Salmiya, thanked Morocco, its king, and the country’s people for its support.
In its first phase, the project will support 250 farmers through three key interventions: distributing seedlings, providing water tanks, and supplying veterinary kits for their livestock.
The agreement is part of a series of programmes and initiatives implemented by the agency to support all segments of Al-Quds' population, including farmers.
