Bir Nabala Wall: A Devastating Blow to the Palestinian Economy
Case Study, Ma'an Development Center, June 27th, 2007
Bir Nabala is one of Jerusalem’s many Palestinian neighborhoods isolated from the rest of the city by massive sections of the eight-meter high concrete Wall. Bir Nabala was once a bustling commercial center, linking the people of northern West Bank cities such and Jenin and Tulkarm with the greater Jerusalem metropolis. Because of the neighborhood’s strategic location, many Palestinians depended on more than 600 businesses and shops as well as six tire factories to maintain their livelihoods. The shops now number less than 180 and only two tire factories remain.
