The United Nations estimated that if the series of walls, fences, barbed wire and ditches is completed along its planned route, about a third of West Bank Palestinians will be affected—274,000 will be located in enclaves in the seam zone and about 400,000 separated from their fields, jobs, schools and hospitals.
De Forenede Nationer anslog, at hvis den serie af mure, hegn, pigtråd og grøfter bliver færdige langs den planlagte rute, så vil omkring en tredjedel af palæstinenserne blive påvirket – 274.000 vil befinde sig i enklaver i barriere-zonen og omkring 400.000 være adskilt fra deres marker, arbejde, skoler og hospitaler.
