Most electricity to the rest of the OPT is supplied by the Israel Electric Corporation. Some 138 Palestinian villages have no electricity supply or only part-time supply from diesel generators. There are no modern sanitary landfills and refuse in simply dumped outside municipal boundaries, often burned to reduce volume. The collection of garbage does by far not meet the needs of residents.
Open sewages are also common in many areas and affect negatively the quality of water.
The existing transport facilities in the OPT are inadequate to provide a cost-effective service. Since 1967, investment in the sector has been primarily been designed according to Israeli security concerns and settlement needs. The weakening of local Government since the occupation has led to a deterioration of road networks within the municipalities. Road transportation is the only mode available for passenger services. Half of the bus fleet is more than 12 years old.
