About 750 families in Hebron, a place in the West Bank, have been stuck at home since the Hamas attack on Israel six weeks ago.
They live in the most tense area of H2, a place in Hebron where 39,000 Palestinians and about 900 Israeli settlers live. The Israeli settlers are known to be very extreme compared to others in the West Bank.
Although most of the people in H2 are Palestinians, the Israeli military has complete control over it.
Muhammad Mohtaseb, a 30-year-old security guard at the hospital, sat on his roof smoking a cigarette and looking at the empty streets. He said, “This feels like a closed space within a closed space. ” “We are surrounded by many checkpoints everywhere. ”
For the last six weeks, people in Palestine have had a hard time getting enough food and water. The schools are not open, so kids are staying at their houses. Many people can’t get to work and are running out of money.
“In these jobs, if you work, you get to have meals,” said Fawaz Qafisha, a cook who makes falafel. “If you don’t work, you don’t get to eat. “
