In a scene that blends hope and determination, APN successfully revived the land of farmer Mohannad in the Al-Aroub area of Hebron, after it was subjected to a brutal attack by the Israeli occupation. The land had witnessed the uprooting of over 500 olive trees, with the land being completely leveled, in addition to the destruction of a vital water well and its protective fence.

Farmer Mohannad, who dedicated 14 years of his life to cultivating this land, found in APN a supportive hand that restored his hope. With support from Mr. Talal Al-Shaer, APN replanted the land with 500 new olive trees, aiming to restore fertility and productivity to this ravaged land.

This land is not only a source of livelihood for farmer Mohannad, but also an integral part of his identity and life. Replanting it has restored his hope for steadfastness and resistance.

This initiative is part of APN’s efforts to support the steadfastness of Palestinian farmers within the Million Tree Campaign, empowering them to resist the occupation's policies that target both land and people.

This achievement sends a powerful message that willpower and collective action can overcome challenges, reviving land that the occupation seeks to erase.
