Nablus Workers

Unemployment in Nablus is high, and even those with jobs work under extraordinary conditions. Employees can be detained without trial, workers queue for hours at checkpoints to reach jobs in Israel, and for the unemployed the end of each month only brings more debt.

Nablus Workers is the third film in Al Jazeera’s Witness series The Business of Occupation, which looks at how Israeli military rule shapes the economy of a West Bank city.
