Shortage of medicines and baby milk in Far'a camp due to the Israeli occupation siege

Today, Sunday, the Israeli occupation army continues its siege of Al-Far’a camp, south of Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, since February 2, which has resulted in a severe shortage of medicines and baby milk.


According to local sources, "the Israeli occupation's siege of the camp continues for the eighth consecutive day, with the participation of military bulldozers, vehicles and reconnaissance aircraft, amid the deployment of hundreds of soldiers in the camp's alleys and neighborhoods."


Mansour, one of the camp’s residents, confirmed that “the occupation has been continuing since the first day to sabotage and demolish the infrastructure, and there is a water outage and a partial and repeated power outage.”


He pointed out that the Israeli army "closes all the entrances and roads leading to the camp, and does not allow health, humanitarian and media crews to enter."


He added that Israeli forces "are launching a campaign of raids on homes and tampering with their contents, amidst the firing of sound bombs and tear gas, in addition to converting a number of them into military barracks after expelling their Palestinian owners."


Regarding the consequences of the Israeli siege on the camp, the Palestinian activist explained that “the camp residents are facing a severe shortage of medicines and baby milk, in addition to the complete cessation of the educational process and health services.”


On January 21, the Israeli army launched a military aggression on the northern West Bank, starting with the city of Jenin, its camp, and surrounding towns, killing 25 Palestinians, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.


Then the Israeli army expanded its aggression to the city of Tulkarm on the 27th of the same month, where 7 Palestinians were martyred, while on the 2nd of February it began another operation in the town of Tamoun and the Far’a camp in the Tubas governorate, before withdrawing from Tamoun after 7 days and continuing its operation in the Far’a camp.


The Israeli occupation army expanded its aggression in the northern occupied West Bank at dawn on Sunday, to the Nour Shams camp east of the city, where it killed two Palestinian women and injured six other people, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the Red Crescent.
