The West Bank Barrier February 2007 • In June 2002, Israel accelerated construction of the Barrier. • It stated that the Barrier was a temporary security structure to prevent the entrance of suicide bombers into Israel. • In many places the Barrier separates Palestinians from other Palestinians, from their families, from their farm land, and from humanitarian services such as water resources, hospitals and schools. • The UN objection to the Barrier is to the route in the West Bank and not to the Barrier itself.
CONCRETE BARRIER 10 % of the Barrier is made up of 8 -9 meter concrete slabs. This type of Barrier is mostly found in urban areas. FENCE-LIKE BARRIER Spans 50 meters wide consisting of: - barbed-wire, patrol roads, electronics, trace sand, and ditches. This type of Barrier is mostly found in rural and agricultural areas.
