Luxury Alongside Poverty in the Palestinian Authority

In communities throughout the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, a surprising degree of luxury exists alongside the poverty.

The truth is that alongside the slums of the old refugee camps, which the Palestinian government has done little to rehabilitate, a parallel Palestinian society is emerging.


Very long article with photos galore...
