Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation forces continue to close the main gate, the “military checkpoint,” linking the town of Barta’a, which is isolated behind the apartheid wall, which exacerbated the suffering of citizens, especially the sick.

According to local sources, the occupation forces closed the Barta'a military checkpoint in both directions, which is considered the only outlet for the people of the village and its neighboring ruins, to communicate with Jenin Governorate and its towns.

The sources confirmed that there is a shortage of supplies and food supplies in the town after merchants were prevented from entering them, in addition to chronic medical cases that are not allowed to go to Jenin Hospital except with a permit, and only for chronic medical cases, indicating that the danger threatens students in universities and schools as a result of this siege.
