APN and its partner the Palestinian Farmers’ Union (PFU) replanted hundreds of olive trees in the Ateel and Al-Shofa villages in the governorate of Tulkarem.

With the help of volunteers, trees were replanted on farmer Abu Baker Hamed’s previously uprooted land in the village of Al-Shofa, and on farmer Muwafaq Al Saad in Ateel. These activities come as part of the ‘Land Revival’ project run by the PFU and funded by APN, and seek to enhance farmers’ resilience and prevent land grabs by illegal settlers. The project aims to plant over 22 thousand trees in Palestinian villages in Jerusalem, Salfit, Tubas, Jericho, Tulkarem, Jenin, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron and Gaza, and will be followed by additional projects in several other cities and villages across the West Bank and Gaza.
