East J'lemites must line up as early as 3 AM for service at NII branch
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: Haaretz.com TV 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for January 29, 2008.

The National Insurance Institute branch in East Jerusalem is unlike any other branch.

Only residents who arrive here early in the morning, or rather, late at night, are likely to receive service.

Some dozen people are already in loine at five AM on a frozen Jerusalem night.

The sight may seem foreign to most Israelis, who are used to waking up not long before they wish to meet with an agent, but the residents of East Jerusalem are well aware that only those willing to bare the cold and the sleepless nights are likely to meet with those in charge of their allowances.
