A “humanitarian post” erected at Beit Iba to repair some of the damage done to the army’s image early on in the second intifada. Stories of young children passing out in the heat or of religious mothers being forced to breastfeed in public proved embarrassing. The posts, which were supposed to help mothers of young children, were a two-week wonder, according to Machsom Watch. Once the stories petered out, the posts were abandoned. I found this one empty apart from a sink covered in thick layer of quarry dust.
