Abu-Dis

6:30 am: 3 border policemen at the gas
station, checking all cars and bypassers. A few people climb over
the wall by the university and then go down through the valley. The
hotel at the top of the hill is being renovated: windows, doors
electricity etc... It looks nice.

Wadi Nar: Checkpoint is closed because of the closure. Many people
and trucks on both sides hoping to get through this time. One truck
driver says he has been waiting for 3 days. Our attempts to help
fail.
