Gaza: Israel threatens to ban major NGOs as famine intensifies

Doctors of the World and over 100 organizations call for an end to Israel's use of humanitarian aid as a weapon. Despite Israeli authorities' claims that there are no restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, most major international NGOs have been unable to deliver a single truck of vital supplies since March 2.

Gaza: Israel threatens to ban major NGOs as famine intensifies

We call on all States and donors to:

  • Pressure Israel to stop using humanitarian aid for military purposes, including through bureaucratic obstacles such as the registration procedures for international NGOs.
  • Demand that NGOs not be forced to share sensitive personal data in violation of GDPR; protect the safety and independence of their staff.
  • Demand the immediate and unconditional opening of all land crossing points.
  • Ensure the delivery of vital humanitarian aid.
