Doctors Without Borders has condemned Israel's decision to end its medical operations in Gaza, calling it a 'pretext' to block humanitarian aid to the region. The organization says Israeli authorities are forcing aid groups to choose between risking staff safety or halting critical medical care for those in need. Israel claims the ban is due to the charity's refusal to provide a list of its Palestinian staff, citing security concerns and alleging possible links to militant groups, which Doctors Without Borders denies. The move follows new government requirements for international organizations to submit detailed employee information, a policy criticized by several groups as undermining humanitarian law.
