Palestinians trapped inside their homes by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank town of Qusra are running out of food as a siege entered its 12th day, Middle East Eye reported. The blockade has prevented residents from leaving their houses or accessing food and other supplies needed to sustain their families.
Conditions have deteriorated sharply as stocks dwindle and no relief appears imminent. Aisha Hassan, one of the trapped residents, described the acute scarcity facing those confined indoors, saying the community faces starvation if the siege continues. The prolonged confinement has left families with minimal provisions and no clear path to obtaining necessities.
