Israel has introduced strict new registration requirements for humanitarian organizations operating in the Occupied Territories, demanding detailed information about staff, funding, and operations. Critics argue that this move is not a simple bureaucratic measure but a political act that threatens to choke off vital aid to millions of Palestinians, especially in Gaza, where the population is already dependent on international assistance for survival. Many aid groups may be unable to comply without risking the safety of their staff or compromising their operations, potentially leading to their expulsion and leaving vulnerable communities without essential support. The policy is seen as a tool for control and exclusion, undermining humanitarian neutrality and setting a dangerous precedent for the treatment of aid organizations in conflict zones. Ultimately, the measure risks deepening the humanitarian crisis and further isolating Gaza, with civilians bearing the brunt of restricted access to food, medical care, and shelter.
