Qalqilya wall

The Electronic Intifada 18 August 2002

Israel’s apartheid wall filmed on August 18, 2002 by EI’s Arjan El Fassed, in and around Qalqilya. Footage shows the wall from both sides of the 1967 demarcation line. This eight-meter high concrete wall, complete with lookout towers located every fifty meters along its length, traps and isolates over 12,000 people. The wall deprives Qalqilya’s residents from their basic needs to work, to receive proper medical care, and to harvest their own land.
