Rachel Engler-Stringer writing from Tulkarem, occupied Palestine, Live from Palestin e, 4 November 2002
I am back in Tulkarem for the night. I spent the last two nights in a town in the northwest corner of the West Bank (Palestine) called Qaffin. The town is surrounded on two sides by the green line, the border between Palestine (otherwise known as the Occupied Territories) and Israel. On the North and West Qaffin is surrounded by Israel, and on the South and East by Israeli colonies (otherwise known as settlements).
To add insult to that injury, a new wall is being built along the west side of the town, eventually intended to extend along the entire length of the West Bank/Israeli border. This wall is meant to protect and safeguard the security of the Israeli people, but in reality, it is an excuse to take even more land and water resources from the Palestinian people. The wall shifts the dividing line between Israel and Palestine six and a half km into current Palestinian territory. This means that hundreds of farmers are losing land. Given the dire economic situation confronting them, they cannot afford to lose another cubic centimetre of land.

In Qaffin: The Apartheid Gates and the Policy of “Permits”
Latest News, PENGON/Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, October 30th, 2004
 Occupation Forces continue to refuse to issue its so-called “permits” for the citizens of Qaffin village, located in the northern Tulkarm District. Only 650 people from Qaffin have “permits”, while the number of people that have requested to access their lands which the Occupation Forces have now made inaccessible due to the building of the Apartheid Wall, is some 1600 people. At present, it is the olive harvest season, with people unable to access their groves.
The village of Qaffin is situated in the Tulkarm District, with 8000 inhabitants. The village area is some 10,000 dunums, but with the building the Apartheid Wall during the Wall’s “first phase”, all the village lands, minus most of the residential area, were isolated between the Wall and the “Green Line”, as the Occupation ensured to separate people from their lands, annex the lands, and prevent people from a main source of income following the Occupation closure policy that began with the Oslo Accords but was intensified with the second Intifada.

On the 5th June, hundreds of Palestinians, joined by international and Israeli activists demonstrated in the village of Qaffin, in the Tulkarm region of northern Palestine, marking the beginning of the ‘Summer Against Apartheid’ campaign.
Qaffin village is situated close to the apartheid barrier and, while it has traditionally enjoyed good relations with the people of the nearby Jewish town of Metzar (in Israel proper), illegal seizures of farmland for the construction of the wall has added to tensions.

| Construction of separation fence, Qaffin village, West Bank |

EAPPI photo gallery: photos by Sune
Construction of separation fe nce, Qaffin village, West Bank, October 2002 See 14 October 2002 report by EA Sune from Denmark entitled "The Berlin Wall 2" Construction work in a Palestinian olive grove in the West Bank town of Qaffin close to the separation barrier, which Israel is erecting between Israel and the West Bank. The work is guarded by Israeli soldiers. The soldiers in the pictures are instructing a group of internationals to leave as the location has been declared a closed military area. The reason for the controversy is that the barrier does not follow the 1949 armistice line, the so-called Green Line, which constitutes the unofficial border between Israel and the West Bank. Instead, in most places the fence runs, or will run, on the Eastern, i.e. Palestinian side of the Line. This fact has at least four important implications:
1: Thousands of hectares of Palestinian farmland are now, or will end up, on the Israeli side of the fence.
