Samah Al-Jabari After 1948 the Palestinians start a new stage of their life, About half of them immigrate to West Bank, Gaza Strip and all over the world to live in temporary Camp. UNRWA "United Nation Relief and Work Agency" is the organization which works on rehousing the refugees and looking after their needs. 25% of the Palestinian refugees live in West Bank distributed on 19 camps from Jenin in the north to Al-Fawwar in the south they live in bad conditions, high population density, environmental problems and absence of physical infrastructure. In the present study an evaluation of the Palestinian camps is to be done through studying the environmental, cultural, economic, social and infrastructure characteristics of three camps Jenin in the north, Qalndia in the middle and AL- Arroub in the south, then choose the worst one to design and /or redesign the basic parts of the physical infrastructure. Project team concern with AL-Arroub camp as the worst camp, it’s located in south of WestCamp, 11 KM north of Hebron and It has an area 242 donums, its population is about 10444 in 2007 with 328 person/hac as population density. The most important part of physical infrastructure will be designed for this camp which are: wastewater v collection system, storm water drainage system and roads redesign. These parts of infrastructure reduce the environmental problems in the camp and make the life of the refugees better. The results of the present study show that the Palestinian camps face an environmental problem caused by absence of physical infrastructure. vi TABLE OF CONTENT Title …………………………………………………………………... vii Certification …………………………………….……………………. vii Dedication ……………………………………….………………...…vii Acknowledgement …………………………………………………. viiv Abstract ………………………………………………………….…....v Table of content ………………………………...…………….…........vii List of Tables ………………………………………………………...

  • This Road Leads to Area “A” Under the Palestinian Authority, Beware of Entering: Palestinian Ghetto Policies in the West Bank
    This Road Leads to Area “A” Under the Palestinian Authority, Beware of Entering: Palestinian Ghetto Policies in the West Bank Razi Nabulsi* “This road leads to Area “A” under the Palestinian Authority. The Entrance for Israeli Citizens is Forbidden, Dangerous to Your Lives, And Is Against The Israeli Law.” Anyone entering Ramallah through any of the Israeli military checkpoints that surround it, and surround its environs too, may note the abovementioned sentence written in white on a blatantly red sign, clearly written in three languages: Arabic, Hebrew, and English. The sign practically expires at Attara checkpoint, right after Bir Zeit city; you notice it as you leave but it only speaks to those entering the West Bank through the checkpoint. On the way from “Qalandia” checkpoint and until “Attara” checkpoint, the traveller goes through Qalandia Camp first; Kafr ‘Aqab second; Al-Amari Camp third; Ramallah and Al-Bireh fourth; Sarda fifth; and Birzeit sixth, all the way ending with “Attara” checkpoint, where the red sign is located. Practically, these are not Area “A” borders, but also not even the borders of the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, neither are they the West Bank borders. This area designated by the abovementioned sign does not fall under any of the agreed-upon definitions, neither legally nor politically, in Palestine. This area is an outsider to legal definitions; it is an outsider that contains everything. It contains areas, such as Kafr ‘Aqab and Qalandia Camp that belong to the Jerusalem municipality, which complies

  • REFUGEE CAMPS in the West Bank We Provide Services in 19 Palestine Refugee Camps in the West Bank
    PALESTINIAN REFUGEES IN WEST BANK & GAZA STRIP https://www.unrwa.org/palestine-refugees Nearly one-third of the registered Palestine refugees, more than 1.5 million individuals, live in 58 recognized Palestine refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Palestine refugees are defined as “persons whose normal place of residence was Palestine during the period 1 June 1946 to 15 May 1948, and who lost both home and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 conflict.” UNRWA services are available to all those living in its area of operations who meet this definition, who are registered with the Agency and who need assistance. The descendants of Palestine refugee males, including adopted children, are also eligible for registration. When the Agency began operations in 1950, it was responding to the needs of about 750,000 Palestine refugees. Today, some 5 million Palestine refugees are eligible for UNRWA services. A Palestine refugee camp is defined as a plot of land placed at the disposal of UNRWA by the host government to accommodate Palestine refugees and set up facilities to cater to their needs. Areas not designated as such and are not recognized as camps. However, UNRWA also maintains schools, health centres and distribution centres in areas outside the recognized camps where Palestine refugees are concentrated, such as Yarmouk, near Damascus.

  • Israeli Constant Violations
    Estimation of agricultural losses resulting from the violations of the Israeli occupation during the period 01/10/2015 till 30/06/2016 The Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) follows up intensely the Israeli violations against the Palestinian farmers to expose the brutality of the occupation to the local and international world. West Bank st Since 1P P October; where the Israeli forces remarkably escalated the use of force against Palestinian civilians participating in demonstrations in the occupied Palestinian territories, using their internationally proscribed weapons against the unarmed stone throwers. These demonstration came as a rejection for continuous Israeli crimes which are represented by Israeli settlers’ daily attacks on the Palestinians in holy city of Jerusalem, The daily arrests by the Israeli forces, the systematic policy of torture of the Palestinians, and settlers’ crimes against the Palestinians, such as; burning them alive. A latest incident of “Dawabsheh" family in Duma village, in the governorate of Nablus is a live example of the terrorism being implemented by the Israeli settlers. In addition to the continuous occupation activities, such as land confiscation and settlements expansion over the peasants' lands, the systematic Israeli polices suffocating the Palestinian economy, and the abject failure in peace negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israeli forces, which lead only to more Israeli occupation's control over the Palestinian sovereignty. All of these violations have forced the Palestinians to arrange demonstrations all over West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza and the occupied Palestinian land in 1948, to express their anger, where Israeli forces brutally repressed protesters by killing them in front of the eyes of the whole world, and conducted daily executions against Jerusalemites just because they are Arab Palestinians.
