Gaza - Ma’an - A Gazan farmer woman was injured by Israeli fire south of Rafah on Thursday, and taken to Abu Yousef An-Najjar hospital in for treatment.

The woman, identified as 35-year-old Randa Shaloufeh, was working her land near the Israeli-Gaza border when soldiers fired at her.

Farmers are increasingly fearful of such attacks and many have let their land go to seed despite the Strip’s dire economic situation; many fear death over starvation.
