The Palestinian economy

movement restrictions,
high transport costs and
sporadic border closure.

9. “This transcends political barriers and
limitations. I really love that. I am the
eldest daughter in the family and I am
my family’s hope. There are many
things I wish to achieve through this
job. Most importantly, I love it
because it makes me feel renewed
every day because I learn about other
cultures and it helps my English come
to life.”
