LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 18, 2024 - Alejandro Diaz, 24, leaves his makeshift home which rests above the Arroyo Seco and next to the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles on April 18, 2024. Diaz has lived homeless in the structure for the past three years. He makes money by selling recyclables. Among the 46,000 people in Los Angeles experiencing homelessness, there are dozens living along the Arroyo Seco next to the 110 Freeway near Highland Park. Those living there have constructed a number of different makeshift structures, some with tents, tarps and other scrap materials, but at least one of the structures, complete with a stone wall, a walkway, a front door, electric-powered lighting and even a hammock for relaxing, stands out.

Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October, olive farmers throughout the region worry that their way of life may be on the verge of extinction N with settlers using the war as a pretext for a land grab.

But even before the war, the annual job had become increasingly difficult over the years for the more than 100,000 Palestinian families in the West Bank that rely on it for their livelihood.
