	tl;dr	NPR reports that Israel has expanded its military control from roughly half to nearly 70% of Gaza during a nine-month ceasefire, including a new restricted "orange zone." Drawing on field reporting, photographs, maps, Israeli leaders, aid organizations, the United Nations and Palestinian residents, the article describes halted aid, poorly marked boundaries, continuing gunfire and civilians sheltering in ruins. Israel says the expansion is intended to surround and pressure Hamas, while its military did not answer NPR's requests for comment.
