UN OCHA update on occupied Palestinian territory. April 25, '26

United Nations OCHA occupied Palestinian territory 

We have now released a new fact sheet and an updated version of the West Bank Access Restrictions Map, based on a comprehensive field survey carried out in December 2025.

The key findings include:

925 obstacles across the West Bank (the highest number on a 20-year record)

At least 459 obstacles block or hinder access to main roads

Over 120 new road gates installed in 2025 (standalone or as part of checkpoints)

The 712-km-long Barrier (64% built) remains the single largest obstacle

👥︎ 3.4 million Palestinians affected

Through the interactive map, you can zoom into specific areas, display layers of your choice, and export customized, printable versions.
