  "The Sewage from Sha'arei Tikvah flows into ‘Azzun ‘Atma"

 07:04  -  ‘Azzun ‘Atma About 70 people are waiting in line at the exit.  2 gates are open.  The average waiting time is 7 minutes.  We spoke with a few workers who came through.  Some of them are not from ‘Azzun ‘Atma, but from the surrounding villages.  They claimed that the gate opened late today and, after a wait of an hour and a half, an additional gate was opened.  One of them complained about the sewage which flows to their villages from the settlement of Sha'arei Tikvah.  The terrible odor bothers them a lot, and the mosquitoes.  He said that it is impossible to sit outside in the evening because of the stench.  I would like to point out that I have heard this complaint several times already and I even wrote about it in my previous reports.  Is it possible to help them?  To whom should we send this complaint? Esti W. asked Nivah to give certain information to a resident of ‘Azzun (we have his name), in connection with the studies of his daughter.  We asked several people, but couldn't find anyone who knew him.
