Qalandiya, Thu 12.3.09, Morning

6.20 Anata
I have not been here since the end of Ramadan and choked at the sight of the huge fence on the sidewalk opposite the passage of the pedestrians. The local commander explained that it was put there as a safety measure that the children will not run into the road. How didn't we think about it and have not fenced the sidewalks in our cities? Don't we care about our children? 

Otherwise every car was checked carefully and efficiently but the line was very long. The passage of the pedestrians went smoothly.

Qalandiya 7.15
The lines were long in spite of the late your, they reached the end of the waiting hall, but 5 entrances were open the humanitarian gate opened a reasonable pace. It took 29 minutes to pass through the turnstiles and by 7.50 there were hardly any lines. People who came after this hour time had to wait only a few minutes..
