A rights group on Monday slammed the alleged abuse of Palestinian children working on Israeli settlement farms in the occupied West Bank. Hundreds of children, some as young as 11, have been working for low wages and in "hazardous" conditions on settler farms in the Israeli-occupied sector of the Jordan Valley, Human Rights Watch said in a 74-page report. The head of the Jordan Valley's settler community dismissed the report outright as "lies". The report, entitled Ripe for Abuse, added that Europe and the US were significant export markets for agricultural produce grown on Israeli settlement farms.
