Once it was the "fruit lane" but soldiers lead by people from the administration had raided on the peddlers at the checkpoint and its surroundings, now it's the lane of filth and garbage.

An armless man stood and looked over through the fence at a police car. "Stand away from the fence!- don't come near the fence!- don't you understand Hebrew?!..." Two days ago on his way from the Friday prayers at El-Aqsa, a police officer took his ID. Today he returned to get his ID back. "That's him, over there, behind the fence, the man who is missing an arm" We explained to Moti the police officer."He could be also missing a foot", said the BP officer guarding officer Moti. Moti said that they wanted to punish him because his daughter did not have her birth certificate. He suggested that it might be at the police station behind the CP, maybe at the border police base in Atarot, or maybe at the police station in Nave Ilan or perhaps they simply shoved into one of those complaint boxes.

One child who had passed through the turnstile before his mother had, when the soldiers' post had been abandoned and the turnstile was disconnected. He was trapped. It took us nearly thirty minutes to convince the soldiers and officers to send someone to press the releasing button.

The lad had been hassled for an hour and a half, suffering from excruciating pain, laying on a stretcher in the ambulance that took him from Nablus to Mukased hospital in East Jerusalem, where a surgery was scheduled for him. He was diagnosed with a fracture to the pelvis and the pain ran from there up to his spine. Despite the fact that the Red Crescent had prepared all the necessary permits in advance, the soldiers at the checkpoint wouldn't allow the ambulance driver to cross to the other side....... After numerous calls .... it turned out that coordination had been made, there really was no reason for the hold up and the torture. But after all, the victim is a Palestinian. His time and pain can't be assessed nor are they of any value. No one took responsibility..... they just thoroughly inspected the documentations, scavenged through his and his mother's personal belongings in public and wrote down the license plate number of the ambulance and information of the driver from Jerusalem.......(MW report 27.11.11pm)

The road that leads to the Shu'fat checkpoint which was inaugurated a few days ago disconnects the residents of the refugee camp from the center of their lives. It separates family members, employees from their place of work, patients from clinics, children from educational institutions and restricts the free movement of tens of thousands of human beings.

A protest was supposed to be held on Hanukkah. But the long arm of the conqueror was quicker than the protest leaders, and in the middle of night it visited tens of houses and only at morning was it known that thirty five men were arrested. In the absence of the protest leaders, children and teenagers took their places.

Fadi hid his head inside the coat and pushed a cart of bananas toward the checkpoint entrance. Perhaps there he might find some customers, perhaps he will manage to earn a few Shekels for his family in Jenin. Taking the day off isn't an option for someone who has to provide for his wife and children.

At the deserted territory over which no authority takes responsibility, the place which is a 'no man's land", but according to the maps belongs to the city of Jerusalem piles of garbage were set fire next to the wall that surrounds the checkpoint. This is the only option the residents of the refugee camp have to get rid of this sanitary hazard that accumulates into mountains of garbage. The claim made by the workers of the municipality that they avoid the place for fear of violence and attacks, are unconvincing in light of the raids performed by the inspectors on paddlers, hunting down children as well as men, events which occur every day in that area.
