The King Hussein Bridge, the only point of entry or exit from the occupied West Bank, will probably experience severe overcrowding again this summer. Students and families whose breadwinner works in the Gulf, Europe or the Americas usually come home to spend the summer holidays with their relatives in Palestine. And since the King Hussein Bridge is the only means of reaching Nablus, Bethlehem, Hebron and hundreds of villages in the West Bank, the importance of easy and dignified access becomes paramount at the hot, heavily used crossing on the border with Jordan.
