Barred from Israel, a worker picks up odd farm days in the Jordan Valley
Yassin lost his job inside Israel when the war began and has not found steady work since; Jordan Valley farm days are irregular as the sector shrinks and checkpoints close. Chambers federation head Abdo Idris says workers once employed in Israel brought about 1.5 billion shekels a month into West Bank markets, and checkpoint closures have raised transport costs by 20%.
Northern Jordan Valley loses 40% of farm output; sheep fall from 30,000 to 17,000
Omar Sawafteh of the Northern Jordan Valley agriculture department says the area lost more than 40% of its agricultural production in three years, with cattle down from about 2,000 to 500. Atouf's council says bulldozing for the 'Crimson Thread' road and wall and cut water lines dried out 30,000 dunams of al-Buqai'a plain; eight of 20 Bedouin communities have been fully or partly displaced.
