Israel Bans 37 Humanitarian Organizations from Entering Gaza

Israel is banning access to the Gaza Strip for 37 major international humanitarian organizations due to non-compliance with a new regulation requiring the provision of complete details about their personnel. This decision intensifies concerns about further hindering humanitarian aid to the area, which has suffered severe damage from the war and faces an acute shortage of basic necessities. Among the organizations excluded are Doctors Without Borders, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Care, World Vision and Oxfam. The move has drawn strong international criticism.
