Kafr Ad-Deek mayor Mohammed Issa Ad-Deek told LRC the following:
“Al-She’ab area is the only escape for people of Kafr Ad-Deek now that construction is increasing rapidly , as a result of the occupation authorities ban of construction in both northern and western areas of the village , residents have only the middle to build in , this created a rough reality and made life almost impossible in the village.”
Kafr ad Dik:[1]
Kafr ad Dik is located 15 km to the west of Salfit. It is surrounded by Bidya (north), Rafat and Deir Ballut (west), Bruqin and Sarta (east), and Bani Zaid villages (south).
Kafr ad Dik has a population of 5551 people, according to a 2017 census.
Its total area is 15529 dunums; however, it has been suffocated by bypasses and 3 Israeli colonies that lay over its lands.
This has further limited its expansion knowing that it had already had a 791-dunum organizational plan (built-up area); it also isolated the village from its surroundings.
The Israeli occupation confiscated 2477 dunums of Kafr ad Dik lands for the benefit of:
- Colonies devoured 1225 dunums, and they are:
