If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

This is such an important thing to remember - ceasefire or not, Palestinians are still without food, shelter, or medical supplies.

They still need help - you can donate to support multiple families here: chuffed.org/project/hope...
