This move is part of Israel's strategy to encircle Gaza City and isolate militant fighters.

The military has cut off key routes, including the Netzarim corridor, effectively splitting Gaza into north and south.

It has also closed the Rashid coastal road to northbound travel.

These actions have left many Palestinians trapped in dire conditions, unable to flee due to the blockade and high costs of transport.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic, with over 66,000 Palestinians killed since the start of the Israeli offensive.

The International Committee of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders have suspended operations in Gaza City due to the escalating violence.

Hospitals are critically low on supplies, and many civilians are unable to access basic necessities like food, water, and medicine.

The blockade has exacerbated the crisis, leaving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in desperate need of aid.

Amid the military siege, former U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a 20-point peace plan aimed at ending the war.

The plan includes a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the disarmament of Hamas, but it does not address Palestinian statehood.

This proposal has received mixed reactions, with some Arab countries calling for further negotiations.

Hamas remains divided on the plan, with some members favoring acceptance to secure a ceasefire, while others oppose clauses related to disarmament and Palestinian expulsion.

The Israeli military's actions have drawn international criticism.

Many view the siege and bombardment as a form of collective punishment against the Palestinian population.

The blockade and military operations have caused severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.

These shortages have worsened the humanitarian crisis in the region.

Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel continues its offensive.

Israel cites the need to eliminate Hamas as justification for its actions.
