Well-known international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) such as ActionAid, the International Rescue Committee and the Norwegian Refugee Council are among those that will have their licenses suspended on 1 January, with their operations to end within 60 days.

Israel said the groups, among other things, had failed to hand over "complete" personal details of their staff.

The move was heavily criticised by foreign ministers from 10 countries including the UK, who said the new rules were "restrictive" and "unacceptable".

In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of the UK, France, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland said the forced closure of INGO operations would "have a severe impact on access to essential services including healthcare".

They added that the humanitarian situation in Gaza remained "catastrophic" and called on Israel's government to ensure INGOs were able to operate "in a sustained and predictable way".

Unacceptable, but no consequences. So Israel can and will continue, only a matter of time till Gaza is Palestinian free.

Important facts are left out of the claim. The result is a negative presentation.

The number of "aid groups" not authorized to enter Gaza is less than 15% of operating NGOs.

The unauthorized organizations contribute less than 1% of the total aid going into the Gaza Strip, Aid is flowing into Gaza from 20+ organizations that are continuing to operate.

The unauthorized groups have a history of Hamas/Islamic Jihad organization members on their payroll. They have refused to take measures to prevent their organizations being used as cover for these militant groups.

Aid is not being blocked, or stopped. If the groups are that concerned they have two options;

1. Deliver aid to another authorized aid group or,

2. Deliver the aid to Israel COGAT and it will be delivered under international supervision.

Also MSF will be impacted, a major NGO with a big impact on the aid distribution.

Bulls*it. Show me links. I know that Canadian aid does not support Hamas. How do I know? Because I give money to them and know administrators personally.

This is just another example of war by starvation.

How is the temporary suspension of MSF authorization going to have a big impact on aid distribution? The suspended "NGOs" are recorded as only contributing 1% of the aid delivered in Gaza. How then would one of them have a significant impact on aid delivery? There are already 20 authorized aid and relief agencies providing food, housing, social service, and medical care services.

4,200 trucks enter Gaza each week.They are carrying aid from UN aid agencies, donor countries, the private sector, and the 20+ international organizations that continue to operate in Gaza.

Medical Care and support is being provided by multiple organizations led by 5 UN agencies and including;

• International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)

• American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)

• International Rescue Committee (IRC)

• Mercy Corps

• Project HOPE

• World Central Kitchen (WCK)

• Catholic Relief Services (CRS)/ Caritas Jerusalem

The World Health Organization is the lead health services entity.

Now tell us how MSF has such a big impact when it delivered less than 1% of aid to Gaza.

MSF claims it delivers services such as trucking water, however the actual critical services are delivered by other groups and not MSF. UNICEF, the IRC and the Arab dominated Anera charity were the ones doing this.

You are not particularly clear. What "charity" are you referring to?

There has been previous documentation of several charities having Hamas operatives on their payroll. Here is a link. https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/terror-un-payroll

NGO Monitor is a credible third party entity that reports on charities. The MSF history is not clean. Here is a link that provides compelling evidence of MSF bias and impropriety.

https://ngo-monitor.org/ngos/medecins_sans_frontieres_doctors_without_borders_/

The organizations that are suspended have had 10 months to comply as the other NGOs have done. They chose not to do so. All that Israel was asking the. NGOs to do was to declare their workers. This is to ensure that militants do not use the NGO as cover. It is not unreasonable to ask who the aid workers are. It is done in Africa. And it is done in Thailand. The NGO workers who are in the refugee camps of Thailand are known to the Thai government.

Humanitarian groups argue that the 1% figure is misleading. They note that while they may not own the trucks (consignors), they are critical for distribution. For example, NGOs reportedly delivered $221 million (over 50%) of the $420 million in food assistance provided in Gaza in 2024 and manage approximately 68% of cooked-meal provision points.

International bodies like the UN and EU have warned that these suspensions will have "catastrophic" consequences, as these NGOs provide approximately 90% of emergency medical teams and 74% of all shelter and non-food item activities in the region.

Msf manages 20 percent of the gaza hospital beds. Also organisations like Oxfam novib contribute significantly to the humanitarian aid. Your claim that their contribution is negligible seems straight up Israeli propaganda.

And no, Israel didn't just require the NGO 's to declare their staff. They require names, family, addresses, social media history.

Because the banning of any genuine group providing humanitarian aid is purely political. Why are the reasons for the ban not stated and transparent? And what have any of the banned groups done to deserve the ban. Sorry, but this deserves every per cent that has been withheld to the point of starvation.

I do get that. I doubt that any of these organisations are cover for Hamas operatives. The UN news is 20 years stale, 2004. Now, who knows? Pure speculation, of course, but this may be that the NGOs want the same transparency from Israel that is demanded of them. MSF, in particular, has done great work in many countries. Personally, I think that question should be asked of them: Why won't they declare their aid workers? I agree the ball is in their court but I'm sure curious about their reasons.

I replied to Patong before I read this. Sure, names and addresses will likely not be targeted by Mossad agents but social media history?!? Is the US training Israeli agents?!?And why family? Next-of-kin for when either Hamas or the IDF neutralises them? I'd be very reluctant to provide my own family details.

Outrageous that Israel is banning the infrastructure these groups provide. It's obviously not intended to serve Palestinians.

The numbers you cite are from MSF. In your haste to condemn did you consider that the narrative does not align with the previous claims? We have been repeatedly told that hospitals were closed, health care was stopped, and there was no aid to distribute, And along comes MSF to offer its embellished bloated claims.

Yes, MSF had a presence in Gaza. However, since the start of the war, that role was significantly reduced and MSF services were replaced by other NGOs. Also, much of the MSF aid was delivered by other groups on its behalf. MSF has taken credit for that aid. The reality is that the aid can still be delivered using those approved groups.

MSF has failed to address the multiple documented cases of its personnel being associated with militant groups. The two most glaring examples were Fadi Al-Wadiya and Mahmoud Abu Nujaila. Israel claimed that they were terrorist operatives and provided evidence to MSF. Included were there social media posts that detailed their hate for Israel and desire to attack and to do harm. Fadi Al-Wadiya and Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, who were MSF employees in Gaza and were allegedly associated with or expressed support for terror groups on social media. Israeli forces have accused these killed staff members of being "significant operatives". Fadi was a specialist in building military rocket, He had spent over 15 years in Hamas building rockets used to attack Israel. He joined MFS to allow for his travel between Gaza and Iran in his roile as a senior ordinance planner. MSF refused to acknowledge the Israeli concerns and had the attitude that "we are MSF, and we are bigger than you". The MSF position is that it is not responsible for an individual's personal activities . This in itself is a farce. Every large employer has a requirement that employees do not engage in activities that can harm the employer and that includes social media activity.

Worse, is that when Israel provided the documentation and the video evidence from Hamas own cameras that hospitals were used for munitions storage, holding hostages and as Hamas command and control centers, MSF said it was unaware. This was dishonest because the activity occurred in hospitals where MSF was present and where its own personnel were shown to be. MSF employees have participated in military attacks. And this too is ignored by MSF, with the dismissive statement, "we were not aware".

As a former donor and someone who once considered working for the organization, I do not doubt its importance and the role that it can play. Unfortunately, what many people braying and complaining do not realize is that MSF is a decentralized operation and it is subject to local influences and local politics. In plain language, the MSF operations in Africa which follow strict compliance rules and regulations and which are apolitical, are very different than the MSF operations in Gaza, Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority Territory. MSF in these areas is dominated by local political factions. The decision was taken to accept the activity. MSF is no longer apolitical and has taken political positions despite its claims to the contrary. This was demonstrated in May 2024 when the former President of MSF, Christos Christou visited Australia on a fundraising and public relations tour and launched a political diatribe against Israel at every opportunity that he could. Although he was condemned by many of the MSF donors for his language, the cat was out of the bag and the political bias of his leadership was evident. It is unlikely to change with the new president, Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim.

In fairness to Dr. Abdelmoneim he is a decent man with impeccable credentials. He will not be popular with some donors because of his "liberal" approach on gender. It won't go over very well in some countries where MSF is present. He may change some of the MSF policies because,IMO he has inherited a political mess from the outgoing President and board and has been elected to stabilize the organization and address employee concerns of gender and ethnicity bias.

Volker Türk, the UN human rights chief, was right to describe the deregistration of 37 NGOs active in Gaza as outrageous – and as part of a pattern of unlawful restrictions on humanitarian access. Israeli NGOs have warned that it breaks the principles of independence and neutrality for humanitarian organisations.

Israel says that the measures are necessary to prevent NGOs employing staff with links to extremist groups. It has repeatedly claimed that Hamas has infiltrated aid organisations and exploited international aid, while providing little evidence. Given the many relief workers arbitrarily detained and killed since the war began, the demand for staff lists has prompted alarm. Israel has reportedly refused requests for meetings on the issue.

Meanwhile, as Israel bars life-saving supplies such as tent poles and generators from humanitarian shipments, claiming they could be exploited for military purposes, it allows traders to bring such items into the territory. While ordinary Palestinians suffer, players inside and outside the territory profit financially and politically. US officers in Israel have reportedly urged that key items, including tent poles, be removed from the blacklist – without success.

It's all about making life for the Palestinians as unbearable as possible to soften them up for the ultimate aim, a move to another country.

Somalia ?

I'll bite. Why does Israel get to decide who gets fed and who starves? Saying Hamas members have served in an aid organisation does not mean they are fighters or terrorists. There even may be some Republicans lurking among these groups.

All done by design. WEF mentioned in an article that about one billion people will displaced in next few years due do "pandemics", climate change and other bs coming out of their back doors.

This should worry any thinking person except for those people who won't suffer climate change. These diasporas will, of course, change cultures and languages as well as demographics. Perhaps we'll all be speaking pidgin.

If I follow you, are you saying the Zionists are seeding Western countries with Muslim immigrants to destabilise them?

The consequences of their foreign policies seems to strongly indicate that.

Another day I was watching a video of this ex Green Beret defending Muslins and attacking this so called "Christian" burning the Koran. It turns out that the "Christian" was a Jew.

The Green Beret keeps talking about how the Muslins were fighting side by side with him in Afghanistan during the "War on Terror". The "War on Terror" was fabricated by the Zionists to destabilize and destroy a few countries in the Mideast for the benefit of Israel. The WMDs that never existed.

In another news an Afghan that fought side by side with people like this Green Beret, was shot dead by the police. He was unemployed with kids and desperate. he could not find a job and was target of discrimination. That is how America was welcoming him for his "services". He probably wanted to go back home but he would be killed and considered a traitor by the Taliban.
