Place:
Qira
Observers: Michal R., Yehudit K.(reporting), Ayala S. (translating)
As usual, we arrived at 10.00. The club was closed. H. arrived to open up and told us that the women who had returned from Mecca had celebrated on the previous night. She and another woman arrived with Michal's last week's homework – knitting part of the socks.
We intend to return to Qira on the week after Pesach, with the Yoga exercises that we had promised as well, and decide how to proceed.
Did not notice any military activities along the way.

Qira
This village is located in the Salfit district of the northern West Bank, 19 kilometers south-west of Nablus. The village population numbered 1,387 as of 2016. 97.6% of the village lands are categorized as Area B, whereas the 2.3% remaining are in Area C. The Separation Fence erected around the settler-colony city of Ariel separates Qira from its local town Salfit, and necessitates a detour of about 20 kilometers.
In 2010-2015, the women’s center in the village held meetings and workshops shared by the village women and children with members of MachsomWatch.
