APN | Gaza

6 August 2025

INVESTBANK has announced its support for the cultivation of 15 dunums of vegetables in the Gaza Strip as part of the “Revive Gaza’s Farmland” project launched by APN that has now been planting hope on the ground for over a year and a half.

The project emerged in response to the genocide and ecocide which systematically targets Gaza’s life-sustaining food and environmental systems alongside the weaponisation of food aid, engineering a man-made famine. Refusing to stand by idly, the “Revive Gaza’s Farmland” project focuses on rehabilitating farmland and planting essential crops — including eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, tomato, and cauliflower — with the goal of restoring local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty.

APN General Manager Mariam Al Jaajaa welcomed INVESTBANK’s support, calling it a meaningful boost to APN’s efforts to stand with Gaza’s farmers. She stressed that the project would breathe life back into devastated farmland and provide a vital source of income for dozens of families living under siege.

INVESTBANK CEO Muntaser Dawwas stated that the initiative aligns with the bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting the steadfastness of crisis-affected communities. He noted that standing with the “Revive Gaza’s Farmland” project reflects this vision by helping to create sustainable livelihoods and job opportunities for Gaza’s people amid profoundly adverse circumstances. Dawwas added that the bank is committed to strengthening partnerships with organisations dedicated to driving real, lasting change for affected communities.
