Morning

6:20: Due to Ina's experience on Monday of last week, we decided to arrive somewhat later, and indeed, perhaps it's better without us…The queues weren't very long, those waiting were calm and proceeding quickly, and the humanitarian gate was opened whenever required, with the separate lane being observed. The atmosphere was much more calm.
In the inner courtyard there were a few officers, police and civil administration. They explained their efforts to improve the passage.
The younger kids had a few days off – "preparing for exams", so there were mainly  teenagers passing through.
It's very cold and windy in Qalandiya, affecting the people having to wait there. We noticed an easy chair in a corner of the parking lot – by the time we left it was still covered with frost.
