Israel’s expanding ‘Yellow Line’ swallows Gaza districts and uproots families

“From the first day we came back, we heard bombardment, demolitions and gunfire,” Hamed said.“It would start at sunset and continue until dawn.”
At first, they assumed the explosions were far away, believing the Yellow Line was still distant.
But now, Hamed can see the yellow concrete blocks placed by Israeli forces from his window – a sight that wasn’t there just weeks ago.
Across Gaza, the temporary demarcation line has been shifting, creeping ever closer to densely populated areas and fuelling fears of renewed displacement and violence by Israel.
Israel’s expanding ‘Yellow Line’ swallows Gaza districts and uproots families
When Ahmed Hamed returned to his home in Gaza City after the ceasefire, it stood about 1.5 kilometres west of the so-called “Yellow Line” enforced by Israel. Two months on, that distance has shrunk to roughly 200 metres.Maha Hussaini (Middle East Eye)
These days prior to surgery is so difficult. I need certainty and predictability in my life, and I don't have it. I can't count on the surgery truly happening on schedule until apparently the day before.
And even directly after the surgery, they can't tell me for sure how long I'll be in hospital or what care I can expect to start to recover.
