APN | Palestine
27 February 2025

As the Israeli occupation intensifies its attacks on the West Bank, aiming to forcibly displace Palestinian villagers, APN has successfully planted more than 57,000 fruit trees. This effort is part of a larger project to plant 110,000 trees across 24 Palestinian villages, with support from the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development.

The trees were planted in Jerusalem, Hebron, Nablus, Jenin, Qalqilya, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Tulkarm, and Salfit, forming a green shield against bulldozers and expanding settlements that continuously appropriate Palestinian land.

This bold initiative strengthens the sustainability of the Palestinian agricultural sector, providing direct support to 500 farmers and their families, ensuring they remain rooted in their land despite ongoing attempts by the occupation to uproot them.
