Do all roads lead to

JERUSALEM?

Well, it depends on who you are

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.
