West Bank Barrier Route Projections July 2009 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs LEBANON SYRIA West Bank Barrier Route Projections July 2009 West Bank Gaza Strip JORDAN Barta'a ISRAEL ¥ EGYPT Area Affected r The Barrier’s total length is 709 km, more than e v i twice the length of the 1949 Armistice Line R n (Green Line) between the West Bank and Israel. W e s t B a n k a d r o The total area located between the Barrier J and the Green Line is 9.5 % of the West Bank, Qalqilya including East Jerusalem and No Man's Land. Qedumim Finger When completed, approximately 15% of the Barrier will be constructed on the Green Line or in Israel with 85 % inside the West Bank. Biddya Area Populations Affected Ari’el Finger If the Barrier is completed based on the current route: Az Zawiya Approximately 35,000 Palestinians holding Enclave West Bank ID cards in 34 communities will be located between the Barrier and the Green Line. The majority of Palestinians with East Kafr Aqab Jerusalem ID cards will reside between the Barrier and the Green Line. However, Bir Nabala Enclave Biddu Palestinian communities inside the current Area Shu'fat Camp municipal boundary, Kafr Aqab and Shu'fat No Man's Land Camp, are separated from East Jerusalem by the Barrier. Ma’ale Green Line Adumim Settlement Jerusalem Bloc Approximately 125,000 Palestinians will be surrounded by the Barrier on three sides. These comprise 28 communities; the Biddya and Biddu areas, and the city of Qalqilya. ISRAEL Approximately 26,000 Palestinians in 8 Gush a communities in the Az Zawiya and Bir Nabala Etzion e Enclaves will be surrounded on four sides Settlement S Bloc by the Barrier, with a tunnel or road d connection to the rest of the West Bank. a e D Barrier Route Completed (413 km or 58.3 %) Under construction e in L (73 km or 10.2 %) en re G Planned (223 km or 31.5 %) Cartography and Barrier Themes: OCHA-oPt IMU Kilometers Map July 2009 02.5 5 10 Base data: MoPIC (2000) updates OCHA (2009) Reproduction and/or use of this material is only permitted with express reference to "United Nations OCHA oPt" as the source.

For most Palestinians this access has been forbidden since 1993, unless they possess a difficult-to-obtain entry permit issued by the Israeli authorities. Since the Barrier was completed in the area, permit holders are allowed to enter East Jerusalem only through four of the 16 existing checkpoints to the city along the Barrier, and only by foot. Permits become invalid whenever a general closure is declared, usually during Jewish holidays and times of security alert. Humanitarian Impact: • The Barrier in Jerusalem weaves around and between East Jerusalem and nearby West Bank towns and villages, dividing communities and neighbourhoods from each other. • Villages that were once closely connected to Jerusalem now lie on the West Bank side of the Barrier, physically separated from the city. • The Barrier surrounds entire communities, such as the Bir Nabala enclave, with an inner barrier, with access channelled through ‘Fabric of Life’ roads. • The Barrier cuts off West Bank Palestinians and care providers from specialist and tertiary health care in the six specialist hospitals in East Jerusalem. • The Barrier divides entire families: husbands and wives are separated from each other, children and relatives. • The Barrier delays school and university students and teachers from accessing educational services in Jerusalem. • The Barrier cuts off Muslims and Christians from religious sites in Jerusalem. FIVE YEARS ON: A Summary of the Humanitarian Impact of the Barrier since the International Court of ustice Advosory Opinion, July 2009 OCHA OPT THE BARRIER IN BETHLEHEM The Bethlehem central-urban core is constricted by a combination of Israeli infrastructure, including the Barrier, settlements and settlement outposts. In the eastern governorate, administrative restrictions (Area C, closed military areas and nature reserves) also limit the potential for urban expansion, grazing and for planning and development at the governorate level. If Barrier construction goes ahead as planned in the western part of the governorate, the rural hinterland will be cut off, reducing access to land and water resources. Humanitarian Impact: • The Bethlehem governorate is 660 km2. Only 13 percent of Bethlehem’s land is available for Palestinian use, much of this fragmented • The completed section of the Barrier in the north seals the separation of Bethlehem city from East Jerusalem, blocking its potential for residential and industrial expansion. • Completion of the Barrier around the Gush Etzion settlement bloc will isolate approx. 64 km2, including some of the most fertile land in the governorate. • Nine Palestinian communities with approx. 21,000 residents, will face reduced access to Bethlehem City, the major centre for health, education, markets and trade. • Bethlehem farmers who reside on the ‘Palestinian side’ of the Barrier will also face reduced access to their land behind the Barrier. • Access to Road 60, the main route south to Hebron, will be blocked.

  • Ground to a Halt, Denial of Palestinians' Freedom Of
    Since the beginning of the second intifada, in September 2000, Israel has imposed restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the West Bank that are unprecedented in scope and duration. As a result, Palestinian freedom of movement, which was limited in any event, has turned from a fundamental human right to a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. The restrictions have made traveling from one section to another an exceptional occurrence, subject to various conditions and a showing of justification for the journey. Almost every trip in the West Bank entails a great loss of time, much uncertainty, friction with soldiers, and often substantial additional expense. The restrictions on movement that Israel has imposed on Palestinians in the West Bank have split the West Bank into six major geographical units: North, Central, South, the Jordan Valley and northern Dead Sea, the enclaves resulting from the Separation Barrier, and East Jerusalem. In addition to the restrictions on movement from area to area, Israel also severely restricts movement within each area by splitting them up into subsections, and by controlling and limiting movement between them. This geographic division of the West Bank greatly affects every aspect of Palestinian life.
