Ross Kemp: Middle East
Ross Kemp journeys to the Middle East where the bitter conflict has cost tens of thousands of lives and forced millions to live in fear and misery. Ross visits Gaza one year on from Operation Cast Lead, a massive Israeli military assault on the Gaza Strip that saw as many as 1,400 Palestinians die, thousands of homes destroyed, and much of Gaza's infrastructure obliterated. He then travels to Israel and discovers a country divided, one that is surrounded by enemies and living under the constant fear of rocket attacks and suicide bombs from groups dedicated to its destruction.

Ross travels to the Gaza strip, seen by many as the front line between Islam and the West. During the course of his time in Gaza, Ross sees all sides of Gazan life – from the military wing of Islamic Jihad who continue to fire rockets indiscriminately into Israel, to the ordinary Palestinians whose homes have been systematically destroyed by Israel in retaliation.
