"Residents of the West Bank have to go through the Qalandia checkpoint to get to El Aksa. On the Fridays during the Ramadan women over the age of 45 and men over the age of 50 are allowed through. Tens of thousands get to Qalandia hoping to get to the prayers on time, thousands go through and still thousands are left behind. This is what it looks like.
Filmed by Hadass Shuve and Merav Amir.
Editing: Hadass Shuve.
Translation from Arabic: Hasan Masri."
