Israeli settlers have surrounded homes in the West Bank village of Qusra for the tenth consecutive day, the Ma'an news agency reported. The extended blockade has trapped residents inside their houses, restricting their movement and cutting off access to food, water, and medical supplies.
UNICEF issued a warning that the prolonged siege risks forcing families to abandon their homes. The agency cited the deteriorating humanitarian conditions created by the encirclement. Village residents have reported difficulty obtaining essential goods and services as the blockade continues into its second week.
