Farming Without Water: Palestinian Agriculture in the Jordan Valley
This short film introduces the strain under which Palestinian farmers continue to live in the Jordan Valley. Water shortages prevent farmers from growing productive crops, while right next door the Israeli water company Mekorot pumps millions of gallons from the ground in order to supply water to illegal settlements. Palestinians have systematically been denied their right to dig wells or build water infrastruture since 1967, when the Israeli army completed its occupation of all of historic Palestine. No Palestinian has received a permit to build a water structure since 1967, and “illegal” water infrastructure is routinely demolished.
