Israel is expanding its command of Gaza and now controls almost 70 percent of the tiny enclave that’s home to more than two million people. 
More than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas nearly a year ago. 
Some 73,000 Palestinians have been killed in total since Israel’s military offensive began after Hamas fighters killed 1,200 people on Oct. 
7, 2023. 
Meanwhile, dozens of aid groups have been barred from operating in Gaza. 
Almost every Gazan is dealing with hunger, with 77 percent of the population facing high levels of food insecurity, according to the World Food Programme. 
So, what do these shifting lines of control mean for those in need? 
And how could changing political tides affect the situation?
