Nuaman

Nuaman sits on a hilltop surrounded by olive groves, with the Israeli separation barrier enclosing the settlement on three sides at the northern edge of Bethlehem.

The village territory became incorporated within Jerusalem's municipal boundaries following the 1967 Six-Day War, despite its residents maintaining West Bank identification cards.

The village maintains traditional agricultural practices, with families continuing to cultivate olive trees across the terraced slopes despite access restrictions.

Residents must pass through military checkpoints daily, and the village lacks basic infrastructure including schools, medical facilities, and public transportation.

The 200 inhabitants live in a legal paradox: their homes fall under Jerusalem jurisdiction, yet they hold West Bank IDs that prohibit them from entering Jerusalem.
