Rihan, Shaked, Sunday, October 22, 2006, AMObservers: Yocheved G., Leah R. (reporting)06:00 – 09:15Rihan, (Barta’a), 06:00A few people.One person says that his house is just over the fence at the village of Zbeida, but his permit allows passage through Jalama, which is much further. In order to get there he needs money, which he lacks. Today was his lucky day – he was granted passage from Rihan and he appeared happy.All tell us that yesterday – Saturday – was a difficult day. Passage went on until 20:00 despite the 3 inspection posts that were operating.There are 5 pickup trucks with merchandise, a few with sheep. Two vehicles are under inspection simultaneously. Shaked (Tura), 07:20 Few people. The gate and the bent pole were replaced.A not-so-young woman complains of labored breathing. She has a passage permit valid for Rihan, but the ride from Shaked to Jenin would cost her, so she says, NIS 15, while from Rihan, it costs NIS 50.Soldiers are trying to be helpful, and finally she did go through.Another woman with a small child and a similar story, also went through. Rihan (Barta’a), 08:20 Sparse ongoing traffic. Today is the final day of the holy month of Ramadan, and it seems that people are ready for closure.At 09:15 – We left.
