ISRAEL: Six years later, UN says barrier is still a big problem | | Maher Abukhater--LA Times--
According to UN figures, more than 61% of the barrier has been completed, with an additional 8.4% of the barrier`s total length under construction and 30% planned but not yet built. When completed, 85% of the barrier will run inside the West Bank, thus incorporating 9.4% of the West Bank area, mainly where blocks of settlements have been built.
Ray Dolphin, OCHA barrier specialist, said there is "a strong correlation between the route of the barrier and settlements in the West Bank." He said Israel is incorporating land in the West Bank with the construction and route of the barrier "taking into account expansion of settlements."
