Rout of the Wall around the West Bank

Length of the Western barrier: 360 km Length of the whole barrier around the West Bank, including the East side – 700 km Costs of the wall: The wall costs approximately 2 million € per kilometer

Route of The Wall Land Theft: already in the 1st stage of the wall that is done, about 80 villages lost most of their lands. This is one of the most fertile areas in the West Bank Water Sources: already in the 1st stage of the wall that is done, 36 wells were cut off from the villages they were supplying water to. Settlements: almost 80% of the West Bank settlers ’ houses are included in the de facto annexed areas.

Baqqa Al-Shrqia, West Bank

Income: Farming is a primary source of income in the Palestinian communities situated along the barrier's route. Already in the 1st stage of the wall, about 6,500 people lost their source of income. Water Sources: The wall is separating water sources from agriculture lands. Some villages loose their only water source. Education and other Social systems: The barrier is effecting all aspects of life that depends on movement, especially the health and education systems. Many villages remain with no access to clinic or hospital. Teachers and students suffer difficulties arriving to school. Enclaves: already in the 1st stage of the wall 14,000 people of 17 villages will be imprisoned between the wall and the green line. This does not include over 200,000 residents of East Jerusalem, who will be totally isolated from the rest of the West Bank. Effects on People’s lives
