A map leaked by diplomats has suggested that Gazans could be forced into three tightly controlled land strips if a ceasefire deal with Hamas is not reached within days.
The controversial proposal, allegedly seen by The Sunday Times, shows military zones cordoned off exclusively for troops in the north, centre and south of the territory, while civilian areas exist in between.
For the transfer of goods, security screening, which includes photo identification or bar codes, would be required.
These new tight restrictions could mean that civilians will be forbidden from travelling between the four occupied sections without prior permission.
Up to 2million Palestinians, therefore, would be unable to move freely throughout the strip, according to foreign companies who have been briefed on the plan and assigned to the distribution and management of humanitarian support.
