Jabhat al-Nusra continues its siege on the villages of al-Fu’ah and Kafriya, which are under constant bombardment. The residents of these two villages are defending them, amid constant fear of Jabhat al-Nusra invading. This [potential invasion] threatens the lives of 50,000 civilians living in the villages, and foretells a humanitarian catastrophe. Jabhat al-Nusra has already set up checkpoints close to the two villages, while the confrontation lines are close to the villages’ borders with Binnish, the Bruma farms and Maarrat Misrin.
The two villages witnessed some crises due to the siege, despite the Syrian army’s helicopters regularly dropping aid. In this context, the field source said, “The residents only get a little food and medical supplies because the villages are small, and it is hard for them to get out of there and try and get the supplies that were dropped outside [the villages’] borders.” The source explained that a bread crisis has started to emerge.
