Day 9: Jordan Valley. In 1967, 320,000 Palestinians lived in the Jordan Valley and 10,000 Palestinians worked in Israeli settlements. The valley was a breadbasket and its produce was exported, mainly to the Arab world.

Now Israelis control the land and its resources and they use different strategies to harass Palestinians, including laying mines which have caused fatalities.
