Who is working in Palestine today, at what, and for how much.

Ex-labourer in Israel, now displaced and bedridden, buys food on credit

Mar'i hurt his leg working in Israel in 2019; it worsened after soldiers beat him when his family was forced out of Tulkarem camp, and he cannot afford treatment. The family has moved four times since January 2025, owes shopkeepers, and faces eviction. Many Tulkarem families relied on jobs in Israel before permits were revoked after October 2023.
