Jerusalem
Bethlehem and surrounding, Friday 9.12.05, AMObserver: Zuli F. , Efrat B., Magdalena H. (reporting)CP 300 The new terminal very quite. One Lady with foreign Passport told us that there are no detainies and no traffic from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. Also very few cars passing. We think that the people are not coming out because of the stabbed soldier in Qualandia yesterday. We had a look around and inside the terminal and one soldier told us to leave because it is “military area”. The posters inside the terminal are very welcoming – realy like for tourists!!DCO 10, Beth Jallah Very little traffic. One palestinian ambulance brought an old sick man to another private ambulance, to bring the sick man to the hospital in East Jerusalem. The volunteers were fed up with the situation , that they cannot pass the CP’s, even though there is already an international agreement. And the privat ambulance is not cheap at all.Al-Arub The two entrances to the main road are open.Halhul A flying CP, waiting time for cars around 20 minutes.El-Khadr Also very quite. No soldiers and much less traffic than usual.
