Affected Palestinian Population and Localities by the Wall

This map, from the Palestine Land Development Information Systems (PALDIS), details the Wall’s devastating effects on Palestinian communities as they are separated from their land while the entire West Bank is being torn apart into disconnected ghettos. If the Wall is completed in its entirety, 54% of the West Bank lands will be walled into these ghettos with another some 4.5% imprisoned into enclaves. With nearly half of the West Bank being de facto annexed by Israel, it is expected that nearly 16% of the Palestinian West Bank population will be isolated “behind” the Wall and another 18.7% will be separated from their lands.
