Sho’afat
Sho’afat Refugee Camp, Wednesday, 28/07/04, AM.Observers: Sylvia P. and Ofra K. (reporting)Sho’afat Refugee Camp, 6:45 AM. The road is narrow and two low concrete barriers make each lane even more narrow.On the side heading towards Jerusalem is a long queue of vehicles; the end of the queue is nowhere in sight. The traffic moves slowly, but constantly. Many pedestrians are walking on the side of the road. The checkpoint itself is narrow; beside it is an empty lot, and the border policeman commanding it is not courteous to us. At the end of the checkpoint are many transit vehicles taking passengers to Jerusalem.
