Palestinian agricultural engineer Irada al-Za'anin works inside her "water farm" in her house in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun, Sept. 17, 2019. To overcome the agricultural problems faced by farmers in the Gaza Strip, newly-graduated Palestinian agricultural engineer Irada al-Za'anin has established the first-ever "water farm" in her house. The project aims to reduce the area used in agriculture, saving effort and time as well as maintaining the amount of water used for irrigation. (Photo by Rizek Abdeljawad/Xinhua)
