The post-ceasefire deal's "Yellow Line" between Israeli military occupied areas and Gaza originally covered roughly 53% of Palestinian enclave, but the expanded "Orange Line" now places over 65% under tighter Israeli invasion.

The zone cuts off dozens of critical humanitarian, food, health, school and UNRWA facilities, alongside vital farmland, fishing areas, and essential supplies
