answer text <p>According to the Food Security Sector (FSS) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), direct damages to agricultural produce as a result of electricity shortages are estimated at approximately 78,000 tons of vegetables, equivalent to 78 million New Israeli Shekels (£16.25 million) of lost revenues to agricultural workers.
