In November this year, 221 Malawians flew to Israel to start working on farms there. The Malawian government has a labour export deal with Israel, and says it is eventually aiming for a total of 5000 people to travel there for work.

According to the World Bank, Malawi is the fourth poorest country in the world.

But the deal has provoked debate in Malawi because of the current conflict in Israel. The political opposition says the scheme is putting citizens in danger, pointing out that 39 agricultural workers from Thailand were killed at the start of the fighting. The government in Malawi says they have assurances the workers will be safe.

So we got in contact with one of the workers who has just arrived in Israel, Andrew Chunga, to ask him what life was really like there.
