BMU | Resources and publications

Below is an updated index of Barrier Monitoring Unit (BMU) publications. We have a combination of project write-ups, surveys, reports, and profiles. The BMU currently compiles articles from a variety of media, academic and institutional resources about the Barrier within our E-library. This facilitates research while organising documentation of the West Bank Barrier and its effects on Palestinians.

Environmental impact monitoring
	In cooperation with the Applied Research Institute Jerusalem, the BMU researched the impacts of the Barrier on the environment, Palestinian livelihoods, and the already-vulnerable Palestine refugee population.
Directly-affected communities list
	Developed jointly by OCHA and UNRWA, this list is a compilation of all communities directly affected by the West Bank Barrier. Any community with land on the other side of the Barrier or located between the Barrier and the Green Line are considered "directly-affected" under our criteria.
Case studies and fact sheets
	Find fact sheets addressing various aspects of the BMU's work, as well as mini-profiles of Barrier-affected communities available for download: Barrier Monitoring Unit Barrier impacts on the environment and rural livelihoods Barrier impacts on grazing and livestock Barrier impacts on waste management

Joint surveys

Our studies include Environmental Impact Monitoring, West Bank Identification-Holders, Community Access, Rural Refugees, and our Baseline study on loss of access to land.
