The Yellow Line is more than a boundary; it is a lifeline designed to keep Gaza’s families safe and informed during the ceasefire.

For your own safety, do not approach the yellow line.

In recent days, the Israeli military introduced the Yellow Line, a marked boundary designed to protect civilians and reduce risks during the ceasefire.

This line separates active military zones from designated safe areas where humanitarian aid, medical care and essential supplies are being coordinated.

Officials say the boundary is meant to prevent confusion and accidental crossings as conditions shift daily.

It also gives aid teams the space they need to deliver food, water and medicine safely.

It is not a restriction but a protective measure that helps families move safely and avoid areas of crossfire or renewed violence.

Humanitarian agencies and military authorities have separately worked to inform civilians about the Yellow Line and its role in protecting access to aid and safe movement.

UN agencies such as OCHA and UNRWA continue coordinating humanitarian relief through designated safe zones, delivery routes and public messaging on movement and sheltering.

Following these efforts ensures that families know which routes are open, which areas are under observation and when it is safe to move or shelter in place.

For families, especially women and children, crossing the Yellow Line without guidance risks entering unsafe areas where security operations continue.

By following the guidance from humanitarian agencies and respecting the boundaries of the Yellow Line, civilians help ensure their own safety and that of their neighbors and loved ones.

Humanitarian organizations and local authorities are working tirelessly to preserve the calm. The Yellow Line is not a symbol of division — it is a lifeline.

Respecting the boundaries of the Yellow Line helps protect every household, bringing the community one step closer to lasting peace and the safe recovery of Gaza’s families.
