70% of Gaza Off-Limits: Israel's No-Go Zones Expand Under International Watchful Eye

Israel has restricted Palestinian access to 70% of Gaza, either by declaring large areas as no-go zones or issuing forced displacement orders, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). The restrictions have been in place since 2007 and are intended to maintain Israeli control over the territory. Palestinians living in these restricted areas face difficulties accessing basic services such as healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. This development marks a significant escalation of Israel's occupation policies in Gaza.
