The Fading Valley
In the fertile Jordan Valley, there is a group of Palestinian farmers whose pastures have been declared military areas, their water wells have been closed down and the water has been diverted to the Jewish residents of the valley.
Without water, there is no life – and agriculture is disappearing. Some have given up and moved to the city, others have been forced to work in the very settlements that have taken over their own lands. Country: Israel
