Beit Fajjar, a village 25 kilometres south of Jerusalem, has a total population of 12,000, among which four to five hundred are refugee families. It is east of Route 60 and according to the latest barrier maps, will be cut-off from that road, which leads to Israel through Gush Etzion checkpoint (via Route 367).
Arrub Camp, four kilometres south of Beit Fajjar, has 9,000 UNRWA-registered refugees and will also be cut off from Route 60; once completed, the barrier will block its main entrance. Access into and out of the camp will be diverted through the back roads of Beit Fajjar in the north (en route to Bethlehem) and Sair in the south (en route to Hebron) | |
