🇵🇸 Israel seizes over 60 percent of Gaza with new 'Orange Line': Report | The Cradle
The Israeli army (#IOF)has quietly expanded its ‘Yellow Line’ in #Gaza via new maps issued to aid groups recently – setting up an additional ‘Orange Line’ which effectively brings 64 percent of the besieged strip under military control, according to a 29 April Reuters report.
The new line makes up around 11 percent of Gaza’s territory beyond the ‘Yellow Line,’ the report says. “The areas cordon off nearly two-thirds of Gaza's territory in total,” it explains.
“Israel's military sent the maps to aid groups in Gaza in mid-March, but has not released them publicly,” two aid sources told Reuters.
Tel Aviv claims the area is a restricted zone aimed at enabling aid deliveries, and that while aid groups must coordinate with the Israeli army, civilians will be “unaffected.”
Yet thousands of displaced civilians reside in the area within Israel’s new boundary.
