Just metres from yellow-painted concrete blocks marking the Israeli army’s latest redeployment line in eastern Gaza City, Zaid Mohammed, a displaced Palestinian father of four, shelters with his family in a small tent.
The so-called yellow line is the demarcation line where the Israeli army withdrew to under the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire that came into effect in October. Israeli military maps indicate the line extends 1.5km to 6.5km (0.9 to 4 miles) inside Gaza from its eastern boundary with Israel and covers roughly 58 percent of the enclave.
