Bethlehem is one of the main spiritual, cultural and economic centers of Palestinian life. It is a city of historical and religious significance,withpilgrims arriving from around the world to pay their spiritual respects at the many religious sites in the area.
Bethlehem is also being gradually isolated from the world and decimated by the practices and policies of the Israeli occupation. As Israeli settlements and roads continue to encroach on Palestinian land, as checkpoints and barriers thwart the daily movement of Palestinians, and as the Apartheid Wall divides Palestinian communities from each other, Bethlehem and its surrounding villages struggle for their daily survival.
