 ❗️Israel blocks last remaining route linking Gaza City and south Gaza

This morning, the Israeli army announced it would close Al-Rashid Street, the last remaining route linking southern Gaza to Gaza City. Spokesman Avichay Adraee said movement south will still be allowed without inspection for those evacuating, but the closure cuts off the final corridor northward. For residents, this means the last road out of Gaza City is being sealed, tightening the siege as displacement and isolation deepen.

The Government Media Office in Gaza said Israel’s closure of Al-Rashid Street is part of its policy of siege and genocide against Palestinians. The road is a vital civilian artery linking governorates across the Strip, and its closure cuts off safe passage for thousands of displaced families.

The statement stressed that the move is intended to forcibly displace the population, endanger lives, and deprive Palestinians of their natural right to free movement.

It held Israel and the US fully responsible for the humanitarian consequences and called on the UN and international community to take urgent action to restore unrestricted civilian travel inside Gaza.
