Kafr Jammal – an overview:

 

Kafr Jammal is located 15 km to the south of TulKarm, adjacent to the road connecting TulKarm with Qalqiliyya. Its total area is 14900 dunums including 480 dunums of built-up area. The village lost over 3000 dunums of its lands due to the construction of the wall; these lands, which are isolated now, have become a target for colonists who attempt to capture them and use them as their own. The village is inhabited by 2980 people who rely mostly on agriculture in their living while most of the people live under the poverty line.
