The Humanitarian Line

Palestinian women and children waiting in line at a military checkpoint in the West Bank. Since the second intifada, checkpoints have made life very difficult for Palestinians, as they completely control their mobility at any given time. Women and children are often sequestered to a separate line, which in misspelled English is referred to at the Huwarra checkpoint outside Nablus as the "Humanitarian" line.
