Four-year-old Kinda Hassan has missed the beginning of her first school year as Israeli settlers maintain a month-long siege of her community, Al Jazeera English reported. The blockade has severely restricted movement in the area, preventing residents from accessing essential services and traveling freely.
The siege has upended daily life for the population, with children unable to reach schools and families confined to their homes. Hassan's absence from the classroom exemplifies the broader disruption caused by the prolonged restrictions on the Palestinian community. The month-long blockade continues to impact civilian life, including access to education and basic necessities.
