Luxury Alongside Poverty in the Palestinian Authority

In communities throughout the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, a surprising degree of luxury exists alongside the poverty. This study includes "A Photo Album of Palestinian Luxury in the West Bank," with 98 photos that offer a more complete picture of living standards there. The truth is that alongside the slums of the old refugee camps, which the Palestinian government has done little to rehabilitate, a parallel Palestinian society is emerging.
Here are some samples:
The Palestine Trade Tower in Ramallah
Jawwal cell phone company in el-Bireh
Kerish Motor Mall in Beitunia
Tuqan Building in Nablus
Bank of Palestine in Hebron
Villa in Turmus Ayya
