Since 1967, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip have been unable to move freely in their own land.
Every day, it’s a challenge to get to work, see family, go to school or even get life-saving medical care.
We wanted to see exactly what it takes to navigate through the Palestinian occupied territories today.
Using GPS, we followed four people, each on a different journey to Jerusalem.
Here’s what happened.
