Israel has announced it will enforce a ban on 37 international aid organizations operating in Gaza after they failed to comply with new government requirements for security and transparency. The affected groups, including prominent humanitarian organizations, must cease their activities by March 1, 2026, following the expiration of a ten-month deadline to provide detailed information about their employees and operations. The move has drawn sharp criticism from the United Nations, foreign governments, and humanitarian advocates, who warn that suspending these organizations will worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel maintains the measures are necessary to prevent the infiltration of terrorist operatives into aid structures, but critics argue the requirements undermine humanitarian principles and set a dangerous precedent for aid work worldwide.
