These are the final days of Eid al Fiter. The northern shed is full of people in their holiday best waiting patiently in long queues, many of them women with little children. Only 3 passageways are operating. We phoned the Humanitarian Hotline to suggest that they open the Humanitarian Gate for the women and children. The Humanitarian gate was never opened, but another, fourth, internal passageway began functioning. The crowding continued all during our shift. The internal lines progressed very slowly with an impact on the waiting time in the lines in the northern shed.

The fruit market located on the Palestinian side of the checkpoint is recovering from the raid, and destruction inflicted on it by the long hand of the occupation. Stands have once again been placed on the sides of the road and on the squares. Fruit are once again piled and a lively and vibrant commerce is taking place once again. Until the next time.

Fourteen year old Mahmud is a victim of life. One night last week he escaped for fear of his violent father, reached the entrance of the checkpoint and threw stones at the construction, attempting to get arrested. The soldiers…arrested him, handcuffed and blindfolded him and took him to the military base at Atarot, during the entire ride they kept slapping him on his head. In Atarot he was interrogated by people dressed as civilians (did they really need GSS people to interrogate this miserable child?), from there he was taken to the Russian Compound in Jerusalem. He was detained for a day or two. Mahmud lost track of time…He remembers sharing a cell with two children who were his age, and that when he was arrested the money he had in his pocket was taken from him. He even admitted with a sorrowful smile and acceptance: "No, it wasn't worth it". (machsomwatch report 08.04.12pm)

A woman carrying bags in her right hand, a baby in her left and her two elder children before and behind her was taken out from a vehicle and was sent to the pedestrians' checkpoint. She stumbled slowly towards the other side of the checkpoint. She is one of the many that aren't permitted to pass the checkpoint by vehicle, because their personal status doesn't comply with the rules of the checkpoint.

Into the inner vehicle area a twelve year old girl from Jenin was being transferred in an ambulance from the occupied territories. The driver said that her condition requires that she receive instant treatment and an urgent hospitalization. Today the back-to-back transference was performed with no delays, apart for the ones necessary according to the occupational system, moving the child from one stretcher to the other, a meticulous inspection of the escorts' documents and rummaging through bags. "Perhaps today it was quick because you were here", said the driver. No, it wouldn't be right to give us credit for that. It was a matter of luck.
