The Israel-Palestine conflict has been a dire diplomatic issue for the past half century, and unfortunately the situation is not getting any better, at least for those caught in the line of fire.
The Gaza Strip has been one of the most dangerous places for Palestinians ever since Israel set up a blockade in 2005, preventing Palestinians from accessing imports and exports out of the area, or even access the outside world. Violence in the area has increased in the last few years, with incidents such as Palestinian protesters being killed by Israeli snipers, drawing the eyes of the world to the conflict.
Still, the civilians must find a way to survive each day. This video tells the story of farmers in Gaza, who have to deal with both cripplingly low wages and Israeli gunfire to make ends meet. Matthew Cassel’s filming is gripping, thought-provoking, and painfully honest, showing that even those who have no desire for conflict cannot escape its deadly consequences.
