The Charcoal Makers
Charcoal, called faham in Arabic, is manufactured by hand in Arraba, near Jenin in the north of the West Bank. Workers live in shacks next to the charcoal piles. They stack chopped wood, cover it, and leave it to burn for ten days. The charcoal is then harvested and sold.
Fathee removed his false teeth as a practical joke. Another worker said, “He is the one that keeps us sane.”
