Palestinian Workers Complain Of Abuse At Israeli Crossings

NI’ILIN, WEST BANK – JANUARY 03: Palestinian labourers line up to cross an Israeli checkpoint as they return to their homes after a day’s work in the Jewish state on January 3, 2010 near the village of Ni’ilin in the West Bank. Palestinians complain that the thousands of workers who have been granted coveted Israeli work permits find themselves waiting for hours without shelter and in all kinds of weather to cross the military checkpoints, leaving home hours before sunrise and returning late in the evening because of delays at the crossings.
