Hebron Governorate
Hebron Governorate: The Governorate of Hebron is located in the southern part of the West Bank. It is the largest Governorate in the West Bank in terms of size and population. Its area before the 1948 Nakba (disaster) was 2076 km2 while its current area is about 1060 km2. This means that Hebron has lost 51 % of its original size due to the events of Nakba. The population of the Governorate is now half million according to the estimates of the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (2005). The population density of the Governorate is 500 individuals per km2.

Agricultural Projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2008
Agricultural Projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2008 APIS Report January ‐ December 2008 1 Agricultural Projects in the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2008 The data for this report was retrieved from Table (i) Activity logged by members during the the Agriculture Project Information System campaign (27 August – 1 December 2008) (APIS), an information sharing and response monitoring tool for the agricultural sector, Type of activity Unit to which relevant non‐governmental Organization Login 302 organizations (NGOs), international Add New Project 56 organizations, community‐based Edit Project Profile 120 organizations, United Nations (UN) Agencies Add/Edit Activity 1262 and donors upload details of their projects and developments, creating a comprehensive picture of agricultural interventions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip (WBGS). This report is designed to assist the sector in developing policy, programmes, and projects. APIS is managed by the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and funded by the Spanish Cooperation (AECID). The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) acts as a technical adviser to the MoA and compiles analytical reports for the agricultural sector based on data uploaded in APIS. It is important to note that the MoA aims to have all agricultural‐related interventions stored in APIS, and uses this information in creating analytical reports for specific subsectors or areas in WBGS. The success of the database relies on its 169 members to enter project data; FAO and MoA launched a three‐month campaign in September 2008 among APIS members to encourage their active uploading of projects implemented in 2008 throughout the WBGS.

THE SOUTH HEBRON HILLS SOLDIERS TESTIMONIES 2010-2016 ISRAELI SOLDIERS TALK ABOUT THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES Introduction The South Hebron Hills is the southernmost part of the West Bank and includes the Palestinian towns of Yatta, Dura, Dhahiriyah, and the surrounding rural areas. The region includes approximately 122 Palestinian communities which together house close to 70,000 people, as well as roughly 8,500 settlers who live in settlements and unauthorized outposts affiliated with the Mount Hebron Regional Council.* The Palestinian population of the South Hebron Hills is primarily composed of Bedouin, as well as fellahin (farmers or agricultural laborers) cave dwellers, who lead a rural traditional lifestyle, earning their living primarily from agricultural work and sheep herding. Some are refugees who arrived in the West Bank after being expelled from Israel in 1948 and the years that followed, while others are descendants of families who have been living in the area for hundreds of years.

PDF | 2.75 MB | Chapter 4: the Spatial Dimensions of Poverty
CHAPTER 4 4. The Spatial Dimensions of Poverty in the West Bank: Geography or Checkpoints? “Where is Spain? Before the checkpoint, or after the checkpoint?”41 Based on a series of maps using geo-referenced data, this chapter presents a powerful visual depiction of spatial disparities in economic outcomes in the West Bank, in the unique context of man- made internal barriers to mobility in addition to external movement restrictions. In this context, the analysis validates our findings on the determinants of poverty: areas characterized by high rates of poverty also tend to be areas with severe mobility restrictions, poor access to markets, high rates of unemployment, a dominance of low-wage sectors, and a reliance on increasingly scarce employment opportunities in Israel. The West Bank defies the stylized facts of economic geography: the economic heart of the West Bank, Ramallah, is a mid-sized city while its most populous city, Hebron, is its poorest. Hebron also faces harsh restrictions in mobility, within the city, the governorate and in its limited access to the rest of the West Bank. Internal mobility restrictions in the form of checkpoints have far-reaching economic implications: the presence of checkpoints is associated with higher transaction costs and uncertainty that manifest in increases in price differentials and unemployment rates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to measure the size of the distortions brought on by the internal checkpoints, which is found to be comparable to the transaction costs incurred when crossing the U.S.- Canada border. The „immobile‟ agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable.
