Sansana (Meitar Crossing), South Hebron Hills

Meitar checkpoint – the terrible traffic jam of Sunday. Few illegal workers because there were plenty of police at the sensitive points, before and after the checkpoint itself. Road 60 relative quiet. Military barriers only at al Fawwar, Shuyukh (next to Halhul))! Road 317 deserted and empty ... We drove to Umm Fakir – which name means Mother of Poverty, and indeed, except for at Umm Al Kheir  which is close we have never seen such poverty. We sat with the Awad family (the man was not present ): two women and a few children between the ages of 3-10 (the elder children were not there).  A cement cube. There's improvised electricity, four chairs and nothing else, bare electric wires that look dangerous.
