Israel has announced it will ban 37 international humanitarian agencies from operating in the Gaza Strip after they failed to meet government‑set security and transparency standards. The new rules require NGOs to disclose detailed information on their staff funding sources and operations. Authorities say the measures are necessary to prevent misuse of aid channels and protect civilians. The affected organizations include prominent groups such as Médecins Sans Frontières World Vision the Norwegian Refugee Council and Oxfam. Israel has warned that any group not meeting the requirements must cease operations by March 1 2026 though aid may continue through agencies that comply. The United Nations and several foreign governments have expressed concern that banning these NGOs could worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza where millions rely on international assistance for food medical care and shelter. UN officials warn that the move could disrupt critical services amid a fragile ceasefire. Aid organizations argue that the disclosure requirements violate international humanitarian law and could endanger staff undermining their independence and ability to provide aid. Critics also say revealing detailed personnel information could put workers at risk. Israel maintains that the regulations are essential for civilian safety and to ensure humanitarian channels are not exploited by militant groups. As the March deadline approaches international pressure is mounting to find a way for lifesaving aid to continue reaching Gaza residents without compromising security. #Israel #Gaza #AID #Ban #NGO #OceanNewsUK #UK #Ocean #breaking #latest #London More On: http://oceannews.tv 📺Satellite - Asiasat7: Frequency 3880 H, Symbol Rate: 29720
