Settlers’ siege on Qusra

The UN humanitarian office has warned that more than NINE-HUNDRED Israeli physical obstacles, including checkpoints, gates, roadblocks, and other restrictions, are delaying aid to the occupied West Bank. OCHA said in a statement that obstacles erected by the regime impede the delivery of humanitarian aid, leaving those in need without sufficient services and assistance. The office cited the dire situation of three families, who have been under siege by Israeli settlers in the village of Qusra in Nablus governorate since Tuesday. OCHA said attempts made to deliver food, water, baby formula, medicines and hygiene items to the besieged residents have been unsuccessful, after the settlers re-erected a tent that Israeli forces had dismantled. The settlers, backed by Israeli forces, have cut off water and electricity to the three besieged families in order to force them out and take over their properties. Israeli forces have prevented activists from delivering food and water to the blockaded families. The residents say instead of removing the settlers, Israeli forces allow them to attack the homes. US violation & deception.
