    Locals have fled the West Bank village of Al-Ram since the barrier was built two years ago, cutting family members off from each other and from work in Jerusalem. Once a thriving Palestinian district, it is now home to abandoned shops, deserted streets and overgrown gardens.


    The barrier was erected in the middle of the neighbourhood two years ago, cutting off families from each other


    As the barrier crept down the high street in Al-Ram, it separated children from schools


    Many residents travel through a gap in the barrier to work, but Israel only needs to insert two more concrete blocks to seal it shut
