Wall in Al Eizariya - Dec 2003

 

This report, produced by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is part of a monitoring exercise that focuses on the humanitarian implications of the complex series of walls and fences that the Israeli Government is constructing in the West Bank and around Jerusalem.

This report focuses specifically on the issue of Palestinian access to Jerusalem. It examines how the Barrier in combination with other policies, such as checkpoints and permits restrict the ability of Palestinians to reach their land, services and other traditional links with the city of Jerusalem.
