Presented by Sheila Dillon. When the Jews greened the desert, Israel certainly seemed to be the land of milk and honey. But as the water sources begin to dry up and political strife unsettles the country, how much longer can the land bear the strain? The programme explores how Israelis and Palestinians are striving to get their land to bear fruits suited to poor soil and low rainfall which will feed the people and provide much-needed income.
