What is Ecocide?
- Ecocide is the destruction of the environment by humans.
- Ecocide is broadly understood to mean mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term.
- Impact on Gaza: Before the war, farms and orchards covered about 170 sq km (65 sq miles), or 47% of Gaza’s total land area. By the end of February, more than 65 sq km, or 38% of that land has been destroyed.
