'Azzun 'Atma

06:45  More than 30 people waiting by the roadside for their rides.  Many of them are going to Sha’arey Tiqwa.

At the exit from the village a line of almost 100 people waiting for inspection.  Two booths are open, and according to our timing, each laborer waits 20 minutes.  But it turns out that this isn’t the only line, and those from other villages, whom we didn’t see, wait elsewhere on even longer lines before they reach the gate at which we’re standing.
