Qira, Salfit Checkpoint, Shomron Crossing
Observers: Michal R, Sally-Anne (reporting)
Over the past two weeks our visits to Qira have been very good.
Michal and I go every Sunday a.m. to our usual workshops on movement and bead work.
Last Sunday we held our workshops at Fatias house, she invited the whole group for breakfast at her house.
20 women came. We ate and spoke and then did a class in her living room and Michal did bead work on the dining room table.
It proves that there is a good bonding and relationship with the women of Qira which is what we want and which is valuable.
We went to Salfit, the barrier was up and Palestinian cars passed easily. There was no army traffic on Rd 5
We passed Shomron Gate with no interuption.

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.
