Tarqumiya

Tarqumiya, Wednesday 16.2.05, AMObservers: Haya H. Dana L. Reports: DanaWe arrived at 5.45 and left at 7.30.About 1000 Phaletinians passed through until we left. The reason - as we were told - the blocking off of roads in other places( for example - Zuriff)/ The soldiers did their best to faciliate the passage' and even treated every one politely(including us). Some were detained for a short time until their documents were checked with the autorities. We were told that the soldiers started to check people at 4.30' since there were so many already waiting. There was a problem only with M', who had only a temporal i.d. paper. He was told to wait for the Matak to sort out the problem. Seren Hady told us it's not the first time M' has this problem, though he told us otherwise. So let's hope that somebody'll find a solution...
