The gate is open but the inspection booth isn’t operating – there’s no electricity.

The staff prepares to work manually.  People display their permit as they enter and state their ID number to the female MP.  Initially it’s slow, but then traffic flows.

One of the laborers keeps the line orderly.  We see children who accompany their parents, because summer vacation has begun.  Inspections continue.  A horse cart filled with empty sacks goes through.  The soldier inspects them one by one.  A guy arrives on an electric bicycle; the soldier sends him back because he doesn’t have a specific permit for the bike.

It’s 07:30, they hurry the inspection, long lines at the MP recording the ID numbers.  We had to leave.
