Israeli settlers have besieged the occupied West Bank village of Qusra for 21 consecutive days, with Israeli forces preventing residents from evacuating for medical treatment, according to Middle East Eye. Mayor Abdul Azim Wadi reported that settlers continued surrounding homes throughout the extended blockade.
The siege has severely restricted movement in and out of the village, cutting off access to healthcare services for residents. Wadi's account underscores the deteriorating conditions facing Qusra's population as the blockade extends into its third week with no indication of imminent resolution.
