Ramallah, May 12, 2014 – (WAFA) –
Nabi Samwil, a village located to the northwest of Jerusalem under Israeli
blockade, suffers from lack of food and cooking gas due to Israel’s denial of
entry, a local activist said.
Local activist Eid Barakat said that
the Israeli forces tightened their blockade on the village and set up a
military checkpoint at its entrance.
He added that forces prevented the
entry of food items and cooking gas into the village for weeks now and
obstructed the movement of villagers into and out of their village, forcing
residents to leave due to the hard conditions after seizing their land for
settlement construction, displacing them.
