Widespread displacement from the city of Gaza as the Israeli army closes Al-Rasheed Street.

The city of Gaza, which Israel seeks to occupy, has been witnessing a large movement of displacement of hundreds of Palestinian families towards the center and south of the Gaza Strip since Wednesday morning, following the announcement by the Israeli army of its intention to close the Al-Rasheed Street, allowing its use only for displacement towards the south.

Al-Rasheed Street represents the main coastal road that connects the north of the Gaza Strip to its south, and Palestinians rely on it for their movements, especially after the Israeli army closed Salah al-Din Street in the eastern part of the Strip.

On August 8, the Israeli government approved a plan proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to gradually occupy the Gaza Strip entirely, starting with the city of Gaza, which is home to about one million Palestinians.
