El NashNash, Beit Anun, Ezyon DCL
Bethlehem, Monday 14.5.07Observers: Idit S and Haya O (reporting) 7:30- El Nashnash, Beit Omer: A few people came to hand us their documents for processing with the police. As we finished early we drove towards Kiry’at Arba. When we were on our way back we noticed that on the road leading to the villages was a road block of bricks. We entered. We saw some cabs and the drivers told us that it was Beit Anon. We asked how they manage to get to the other side of the blockage and answered that they had to drive through Shair, Nabi Unis and the road leading to Hebron in order of getting to the other side. We crossed to the western side of the road, there was a similar blockage over there and even more cabs, the drovers told us that this was also Beit Anun. Road number 60 crosses the village and preventives the drivers from passing from one side to the other. On this side the drivers were very pleased that we had come, they said they had heard about us and asked that we pass there regularly on our shifts. Now there is a new station on our tour. We went back to Nabi Unis, a lot of people came to us. From there we headed to the DCL. 10:00- DCL Ezyon :The DCL was still closed, the waiting shed had been taken away and people sat on the floor/ We met people who had arrived there at eight o’clock for medical reasons. At 11:00 we phoned the medical officer who said she would deal with the situation. A man told us he had waited all day on Thursday and was told to come back on this day; he only needed to pick up his permit. We remained in touch with him after we left. At 14:00 he told us he was still there, we gave his details to Yael Shalem, hopefully she will be able to help him.
