The standard international measurement of housing density is the number of persons per habitable room within a housing unit. Since there are no specific figures for Jericho district, it is assumed that this district has similar figures to the rest of the West Bank. A groundwater well adjacent to the Al-Sultan spring, in the center of Jericho city, is the major source of water in the city. Leakage is very high through out the network, thus increasing the measured per capita water consumption. The remaining of the communities obtain their domestic water from Palestinian owned groundwater wells.
All inhabitants depend on cesspits for sewage disposal.
The electric supply in the rural areas of the Jericho district, as is the case in the rural West Bank as a whole, is erratic. Three types of transportation services are available in the Jericho district, similar to other districts in the West Bank. There is one SE 50-telephone exchange with a capacity of 1500 lines in Jericho, connected to the district network. Since then, the PNA established the Ministry of Health, taking full responsibility for health issues and services in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The following are the health services available to residents in the Jericho district.
