The European Union and the Palestinian Authority inaugurated the European Road in Barta’a al-Sharqia, near Jenin, located in Area C, on 22 July. The European Union provided €500,000 for the construction and rehabilitation of the road.
The European Road is 1650 meters in length and will serve 5,000 Palestinians.
