No shouts, and the DCO representative smiles a lot.The basic problems are, of course, the same. For example, a young woman is accompanying her niece who has an appointment at Rafidia hospital in Nablus. The (minor) niece has no identifying paper, for example, a birth certificate. Although there are no photographs in birth certificates, it is the principle that counts! Nobody goes through without an identifying document. The commander says there is no problem in letting them in. The problem will arise when they want to leave. He explains this to the woman who decides to take the risk.
