An eastern area covering about 60 percent of the enclave is under Israeli military control, while Palestinians, most of them displaced, have been crowded into the remaining western areas.“This means more people are going to be shot. Whoever crosses these yellow blocks is being shot and killed, restricting freedom of movement.”
