      number (5) which is a public land owned by Beit 'Anan community (estimated area of about 55 dunums) and about 2 Kilometers away from the Separation WALL built recently on Palestinian Land in the West Bank and about 3 Kilometers from the western side of the community. The local council has plans for this particular area and hopes to be able to recycle solid waste that can serve the whole surrounding area and communities through a joint project. A proposal was submitted by the two communities that are expecting to get a reply soon. Another dumping site that was used for about ten years was recently confiscated and damaged during the construction of the Separation WALL in the western Al Jubeiaa area located in Beit 'Anan community.

      Currently, these communities has no dumping site to the serve them, and the solid waste is accumulating in the streets and people are burning solid waste in some areas to get red of it, a thing that is threatening health and environment in the communities.

      Beit 'Aan and Al Jib communities are calling upon all international and humanitarian communities in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and out side it, to support them to get back their vehicle and continue using the duping site located on their land. The local councils of both communities are attracting the attention of the international community and humanitarian organizations that if this situation prevails during the very close summer season, then it will for sure lead the communities to a very serious health crisis.
