OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) started building a section of the separation wall around the village of Qalandia to the north of occupied Jerusalem, local villagers said on Monday.

They said that IOA bulldozers escorted by security forces started leveling land south of the village.

The wall would divide the village into two isolated sectors and would place tens of dunums of Palestinian farmers’ land behind it blocking them from reaching their land.
The wall would surround the village with a cement structure turning it into a ghetto with only two passages out one leading to Ramallah city and the other to Bir Nabala village.
The 1100 inhabitants of the village fear that the wall would isolate it from the outside world and would negatively affect it on the economic, educational, and administrative levels.
