ASSIGNMENT: checkpoint morningS

High unemployment in the West Bank/Palestine coupled with labor needs and higher wages in Israel, drive more than 70,000 Palestinians to enter Israel daily for work. Inspections and tangled transportation at the security barrier can turn the relatively short-distance commute into a multi-hour trek. These images, mostly taken for Machsom Watch, documented conditions at the Qalandiya and Bethlehem checkpoint crossings during 2017-2018, prior to their upgrade in 2019 to improve speed and safety.
