The introduction tells the story of the man in the picture, and the change from monetary economy to non-monetary economy.
The part with CARE in it reads as follows:
The Jenin area is hit by one economic crisis after another, Hesham Sawafteh, the leader of CARE Internationals offices in the region says.
He then explains how the wall and the lack of payments leads to serious problems and declines in living standards.
Immediate relief: Earlier I was busy with building up the infrastructure in the area, but now I am too busy with facilitating immediate relief, CAREs Othman Abbas, who is in constant contact with the local communities in Jenin tells Aftenposten.
He then lists up CAREs contributions the last years: Beehives for 260 families, cheeps for 1200 families and small greenhouses for 70 families.
Self-support is pin-pointed as fundamental in CAREs work.
The rest of the article exemplifies the economic crisis and the poor economy of many Palestinians.
