GAZA CITY, Jul 19, 2010 (IPS) – Sa’id Hillis, 60, has kept bees since he was a boy. Until the Israeli attacks changed his business.
Sa’id has 20 dunams (a dunam is 1000 square metres) farmland in Sheyjayee, east of Gaza city and roughly 400 metres from the Green Line border between the Gaza Strip and Israel. Until 2009 the farm had hundreds of trees, and more than 10,000 chickens. “It was all destroyed during the Israeli attacks,” Hillis says.
