Don du ciel/ Gift from Heaven

A Thai worker in Israel is hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip. Unable to work during two years, he gets deeply in debt and receives no assistance and is afraid of being expelled from the country. His Israeli employer complains of the State’s irresponsibility while concealing his own exploitation of his workers. He explains the plight of the agriculture market: due to globalization and the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has forced him to import Thai workers since  Palestinian workers are no longer allowed to leave Gaza Strip.
