Relief organizations are warning that new Israeli rules for registering non-governmental groups could severely disrupt humanitarian aid in Gaza and the West Bank. More than a dozen NGOs, including major providers like Save the Children, have already been denied registration, and those affected must withdraw international staff and halt aid shipments. The new framework, which Israel says is meant to block groups linked to terrorism or delegitimisation, has been criticized as vague and overly restrictive, with relief workers fearing it will lead to the collapse of essential services for Palestinians. As the December 31 deadline approaches, many fear that the removal of experienced NGOs will leave critical gaps in aid delivery, worsening the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
