Ola Ishtiwi and her children sit among the rubble of their destroyed home in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood of eastern Gaza City, positioned metres away from a series of painted cement blocks that Israel has placed to mark what has become known as the "yellow line," UN News reported. The demarcation has emerged as a physical boundary pressing Palestinians to vacate their residences in the area.
The yellow line represents an expanding Israeli territorial claim that is progressively closing in on Palestinian communities across Gaza. Residents like Ishtiwi now face the immediate prospect of displacement and homelessness as the boundary advances deeper into populated neighbourhoods, leaving families uncertain about where they will go next.
