A  plant nursery in the seam zone – Habla

Although the checkpoint was opened, the number of permit holders who could enter the nursery work was reduced. Only O. and his nephew can enter the nursery. They must care for the animals and plants. O. slept in the nursery for two weeks and so became a night watchman for his property. To the best of his knowledge in Qalqiliya, no one has contracted the virus. Checkpoints have been set up  at the entrance and a curfew was declared. Restaurants are closed but food stores are open. The Palestinian police patrol and offer help to those in need.
