This is a great opportunity to buy something quite special and make a humanitarian contribution at the same time. The economic role of these craft producers, most of whom are women, has become crucial. Many women have become the main breadwinners in their families, as their husbands lost jobs due to the hermetic closure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
