Roadblocks up by 40% in West Bank

In all, there were 528 checkpoints and obstacles in the
West Bank, up from 376 in August 2005, Mr Shearer said,
presenting new statistics.

The West Bank's Jordan Valley is now entirely off limits
to Palestinians who are not residents of that area, except
for those with permits to work in the valley's Jewish
settlements.
