AREA C
Area C is a region of the West Bank that is rich in natural resources and which has the potential for substantial economic development. However, it also represents the only portion of the West Bank wherein the Palestinian Authority has no administrative control. More than 60% of the West Bank's land is considered Area C and is under the Israeli jurisdiction. In Area C, Israel has set up large military zones occupy, while Israeli settlements continue to expand each year. Palestinian communities living in Area C therefore find themselves marginalized, often without access to basic services, without adequate schools or clinics, and sometimes without water or electricity networks.
