In the northern West Bank village of Jayyus, a growing number of farmers are being denied access to their agricultural land, from which they have been cut off by the fence/wall that Israel is building through the occupied West Bank. While the fence/wall was being developed in the area the Israeli army promised to allow the villagers free access to their land. Immediately after the fence/wall was constructed, permits were granted to most farmers. However, the army soon began refusing to renew the permits of a growing number of farmers, depriving them and their families of their livelihood.
