"Olga" picks lemons in Orange Cove, CA. "I earn $48 per 900lb crate and makes 2-3 crates a 6hr day. Lemon picking is dangerous. I must move and go up and down a 12-foot ladder, while avoiding the thorns on the tree. The weather is cold & the ground is often muddy." #WeFeedYou

</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>A senior Hamas representative said on Tuesday that fewer than one percent of all the Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza since the ceasefire came into effect in October have been actual fighters.</p>
<p>Ghazi Hamad said in video remarks that only 10 Palestinian fighters from across all factions are known to have been killed among the nearly 400 casualties since 10 October. </p>
<p>Producing a map of the Israeli-controlled territory in Gaza, Hamad said Israel has been killing civilians well beyond Israel's "yellow line" boundaries on Gaza's eastern and southern borders. </p>
<p>He added that the mediators - Qatar and Egypt - can attest to Hamas not having incurred a single ceasefire violation in that time.</p>
<p>Israel has also yet to produce any evidence to back up its allegations of Hamas' ceasefire violations, Hamad said.</p>
