Abu Dis, Wadi Nar (Container) Tues. 30.08.05 p.m.Observers; Julia W., Rina H., Chana G., Rahel W. (reporting)There were no border police or soldiers at the old pishpash but there were border police near the fence where the residents removed a bar (which was then covered with a metal plate which was then blocked by a concrete block). The block was pushed away a bit, the metal plate was slightly folded over, and people still maneuvered their way through and then had their papers checked. No soldiers in the upper monastery grounds, but after we walked through, we saw a group of private security guards at the monastery gate down the hill toward Al Ezariya. These (Arabic speaking) guards would not allow vehicles to go up the hill, so, on this hot day, people were shlepping up with their infants, canes, and packages.Went straight to the Container with our driver who told us that he could not wait for us where he usually did because there was a border police jeep surveying the area and if he waited there, his drivers license would be taken from him. We therefore set upon a time for him to return and quickly pick us up.There was no line at all at the Container. Vehicles moved very quickly as did pedestrians. The road to the Old Kedar Road has now officially become one way heading away from the Container and no vehicles were allowed through that came from the opposite direction.There is a lot of road work going on on the route toward the Container and the roads were badly torn up.After our shift, we visited the widow of our former driver, Ahmed. His widow recently gave birth to her fourth son. The whole family was there, together with some family friends. On our return, we found 3 soldiers in the monastery grounds but none at the former pishpash.
