99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Since 2006, about 60,000 Africans have arrived in Israel

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on harrowing treks through the Sinai Desert,

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fleeing poverty, persecution, 
ethnic cleansing and genocide.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As refugee camps across Africa fill up, and Europe closes its gates to asylum seekers,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Israel became the next best option.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's accessible by land, and said to be 
a developed democracy.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But instead of providing them a safe haven,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Israel is both refusing to grant them any benefits,

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and denying them the ability to work legally 
to support themselves.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Faced with poverty and exploitation,
a new nightmare unfolded.
