PALESTINIAN FARMER, TAYSEER ABU DAN, SAYING:”I don’t have a big piece of land so I am using every centimetre of my rooftop to plant one or two seedlings of vegetables. If I had land, I wouldn’t put my home and life in danger by planting on the rooftop. I don’t have enough capabilities to go and rent or buy a piece of land, the situation doesn’t allow me or my sons to do that.”
