Dozens of volunteers and farmers planted seedlings commemorating the eternal Land Day.

 

Raafat Alkhndakja, a member of the Executive Office of the Union of Palestinian Farmers, confirmed that this event, which is funded by the Arab Society for the Protection of Nature, is part of a series of activities that the Union carries out with its partners throughout the year. These events come within the second Million Tree Campaign, and the Green Palestine project, which aim to support the steadfastness of Palestinian farmers through providing seedlings to be planted in their lands, which is threatened with confiscation by the Israeli army and settlers.
