Apartheid Wall Isolates 154,000 Palestinians

According to Al Quds International Institution, the construction of the apartheid wall in the occupied territories has isolated 154,000 Palestinians from the city of East Al Quds (Jerusalem).

The Apartheid Wall is also obstructing the educational process in several Palestinian educational facilities east of the city as they became isolated behind the Wall.

The Institution, based in Beirut, issued a report about education in Al Quds (Jerusalem) in 2010 and stated that education holds a significant role in the Arab-"Israeli" conflict, especially inAl Quds (Jerusalem) as "Israel" wants the Palestinians out of the city.

The report added that the harsh social and economical conditions the Palestinians face in Al Quds (Jerusalem), and the illegal "Israeli" measures against them, are having a direct impact on school students and are pushing more students to quit school.

The report further stated that "Israel" discriminates between East and West Al Quds (Jerusalem) schools, as it provides all sorts of services and financial aid to Jewish school in West Al Quds (Jerusalem), while Palestinians schools in East Al Quds (Jerusalem) are struggling to survive.
