A Palestinian labourer walks alongside the goats of a shepherd in the Palestinian village of Khallet an Nu'man near Jerusalem & Bethlehem on 24/06/2010. The village traditionally acted as a conduit for local shepherds moving flocks between grazing lands & more recently for Palestinian labourers from across the West Bank working on the construction of the nearby Israeli settlement of Har Homa. While part of the West Bank, the village of Khallet an Nu'man has been cut off from the nearby Palestinian village of Al Khas & the city of Bethlehem by Israel's controversial separation barrier.
