Israel lays siege to Jenin as it stops food and water, blocks ambulances

Since the beginning of the Israeli assault on August 28, at least 24 Palestinians in Jenin have been killed, with dozens more injured or detained, according to Wafa news agency [Mohammed Torokman/Reuters]

The Israeli siege of the West Bank city of Jenin has left Palestinians with no food, water or electricity, with medical charity Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, accusing Israeli forces of obstructing access to health facilities and targeting ambulances.

“All basic necessities” including bread inside the refugee camp “no longer exist”, Taher al-Saadi, a resident of Jenin who managed to escape, told Al Jazeera.
