A Palestinian activist spray-paints the slogan, ‘No Wall’ at the entrance of Aida Refugee Camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, September 14, 2013. The Israeli separation wall now divides Aida Camp from olive groves that once provided green space for the overcrowded camp, and the wall’s route deep into Bethlehem in order to encircle Rachel’s Tomb further restricts access to other parts of the local community.
