Photos of two Palestinian territories in North Israel. Once the inhabitants of Wadi Saleib were among the richest Palestinian families of Haifa. Since the inhabitants were driven out in the war on 1948, the area has been deserted. The Arab village of El Naim, whose inhabitants are mainly the descendants of the refugees of 1948, resembles an overpopulated slum – It is not to be found on any official map of Israel.
