Israel confirms ban on 37 NGOs in Gaza
Israel has announced the ban of 37 humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, citing failure to meet "security and transparency standards" by a March 1 deadline.
Prominent NGOs such as Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), World Vision International, and Oxfam are among those affected by the ban.
The Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism stated that organizations not complying with the new regulations will have their licenses suspended.
Israel claims the regulation is intended to prevent groups it accuses of supporting terrorism from operating in the Palestinian territories.
Several NGOs have expressed concerns, arguing that the requirements violate international humanitarian law or compromise their independence.
The United Nations has warned that this ban will worsen the already severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
