14.45 Crossroads of Za'tara. A procession of about 20 cars from the north.

15.00 Huwwara. 
The barbed wire enclosures stick out in their ugliness when they show the border of the spring flowers.  
About 20 cars (so the ecumenical workers counted for us) wait a long time for the checking.
We did not succeed in estimating the time as we could not see the last cars where we stood.
Women go through the humanitarian line fairly quickly wait for their families. 
The line of men is not long but sometimes takes about half an hour.
A boy selling sweets is taken by the soldiers to the isolation (he is told in the language of the soldiers to go to the jorra).
The accusation is that he was cheeky . He is freed about an hour when Abu Rukan, the captain of the DCO intervents.
