The socio-economical and religious importance of Jerusalem city gives it a unique place in the lives of all Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims. The occupation wall in Jerusalem comes as a continuation to existing Israeli policies since 1948, aiming at occupying the maximum land with the minimum number of Palestinian inhabitants, and maintaining the demographic superiority of Jewish Israeli colonists over Palestinian original inhabitants. In order to carry on this study, and due to limited time and resources, a single case study (Abu-Dis Village) within Jerusalem is studied. In order to be as unbiased as possible, the research is approached scientifically using a trends projection technique, integrating all aggregated demographic and socio- economic information with disaggregated environmental and physical datasets in order to formulate and evaluate urban growth trend of Abu Dis village. The research is carried out on two stages: first calculating the land area needed for urban growth, and second, forecasting the allocation this land area. GIS spatial analysis comes in as a major tool used by the researcher in this thesis. The findings of this research can be summarized by the following: The Occupation wall is cutting off more than 60% of land required for urban growth for Abu-Dis, leaving the local inhabitants with no choice but to expand on the expense of agricultural land – the only natural resource in the village. Or alternatively, to expand v in non-suitable urban growth areas, putting heavy financial burdens on the inhabitants themselves and on the local service providers. All this is encouraging emigration out of the village, and contributing to the Israeli policies in Jerusalem city; to maintain the demographic superiority of Jewish Israeli colonists over Palestinian original inhabitants.

The closure prevented Palestinians, including workers, with valid permits, from accessing East Jerusalem and Israel during the four days. It is a year – the start of the 2006 Purim holiday – since Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip have been prevented from accessing jobs in Israel. West Bank: − On 28 February, the IDF re-entered Nablus for one day to continue its largest scale operation for three years, codenamed ‘Hot Winter’. This second phase of the operation again saw a curfew imposed on the Old City, the occupation of schools and homes and house-to-house searches. The IDF also surrounded the three major hospitals in the area and checked all Palestinians entering and leaving. According to the Nablus Municipality 284 shops were damaged during the course of the operation. − Israeli Security Forces were on high alert in and around the Old city of Jerusalem in anticipation of further demonstrations and clashes following Friday Prayers at Al Aqsa mosque. Due to the Jewish holiday of Purim over the weekend, the Israeli authorities declared a blanket closure from Friday 2 March until the morning of Tuesday 6 March and all major roads leading to the Old City were blocked.

    The East Jerusalem YMCA Rehabilitation Program A Survey of the Mental Health and the Psychosocial Support organizations in the West Bank April 2014 The East Jerusalem YMCA Rehabilitation Program A Survey of the Mental Health and the Psychosocial Support organizations in the West Bank April 2014 By The East Jerusalem YMCA Rehabilitation Program 5 5 A Letter of Appreciation On my behalf and the behalf of the East Jerusalem YMCA - Rehabilitation Program administration, staff and volunteers I extend great thanks and appreciation to all the institutions that have collaborated and contributed to the completion of this important survey. This survey provides an excellent base for knowledge and facilitates the process of providing services, in addition to supplying an accurate informational background necessary for developing national plans. It also provides social protection services to our people, especially to children whose life, growth and future have been affected by the emergency incidents, caused primarily by the Israeli occupation of Palestine. The occupation’s oppressive actions that contradict with the international law and human values became a source of continuous danger, terror, anxiety and tension to the majority of our people especially the children. We thank and appreciate the efforts of the devoted people, especially our colleague Hussien Warasneh - The coordinator of the Training and Research Unit, who coordinated all of these efforts from the very beginning of our project until the completion of this study. We also thank the team of field workers, their supervisors, volunteers, staff and data entry clerks for their professionalism, eagerness, dedication and patience while collecting and validating the data, and then inputting it to the online database system.
