About 10 workers are at the pedestrian entrance. A taxi driver who brought us back to the south checkpoint tells us that only workers for the three settlements Elkana, Ganei Tikvah and Etz Ephraim, are allowed entry. According to him there are far fewer workers because of Ramadan and also conditions have been eased.
