The Israeli occupation does not acknowledge Fasayil which is built on state-owned Jordanian lands. The inhabitants originally come from the 1948 occupied land. They were evicted by force and fled to the West Bank where many of them settled in Fasayil to search for a job and make a living.
Fasayil is an object of recurrent demolition and evacuation operations by the Israeli occupation. They are also deprived from the basic services like water and electricity. They are forced to buy water, 15 NIS for a 1 m3 . People of Fasayil are drained by poverty, hunger and the nonstop Israeli attacks.
Fasayil is 23 km north of Jericho and its built-up area is 194 dunums only.
It has a population of 1132 (according to Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics in 2010). It is surrounded by a number of illegal Israeli colonies that limit the expansion of the village and deprive its inhabitants from having a normal life.
From the north, Fasayil is surrounded by colonies of Yafit and Pezael (Fezael), Tomer and Gilgal and Netiv Hagedud from the south in addition to a bypass that links the northern colonies with the southern ones.
