בית לחם (300)

8:50-11:00

I spent half of the shift on the Jerusalem side of the Checkpoint, the other half with Hanna and Judith on the Palestinian side, see their report. 

2 windows are open, many people are passing, more than there were a week ago and many more than 2 weeks ago. 

It's quiet, the soldiers pass the Palestinians swiftly, the youngsters require a bio-metric check. Only one is sent back, disappointed, because he had no permit. 

The big fan is operating, most people smile and are thankful.
