Qalandiya
A-Ram: Few pedestrians and cars. One detainee..
Qalandya: Complete closure, only blue IDs pass, but not even
serious humanitarian cases. A woman married to an East Jerusalem
resident who has a. permit for six monts was not allowed to pass
(until the DCO intervened).. Still, the soldiers and volunteers
were decent despite the strict. restrictions. Only food and
medicines were allowed northbound, and all other. trucks were asked
to return – it created enormous traffic jam.

two kilometers south of Qalandiya and 300 metres north of Neve Yaacov Junction, in Dahiyat el-Barid Quarter. Checkpoint has operated since 1991, in a Palestinian area annexed to Jerusalem in 1967. The checkpoint has been inactive since the middle of 2009.
The wall was built on the road that led to Jerusalem. Since then the situation in the town has deteriorated. Houses are abandoned and half finished, most of the businesses have closed. Severe neglect around the fence and on the streets. Those who could left. Updated January 2024
