"They have besieged us. We cannot leave. It has become like a prison."

Israel is erecting a fence around the Palestinian village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

The 1,500-metre-long barrier was constructed on the eastern side of the village, cutting off Palestinian residents from access to their farmland and crops.

The controversial move comes amid Israel’s continued illegal settlement activity and the forced takeover of Palestinian land, in violation of international law.
