NGOs fear Israel registration rules risk collapse of Gaza aid operations
NGOs fear collapse of Gaza aid operations as Israel introduces new registration rules for INGOs. The UN and aid agencies warn that dozens of organizations not registered by December 31 could face closure, disrupting life-saving services in Gaza. NGOs express concerns over vague and politicized criteria, with Save the Children among those whose applications were rejected. The move could impact healthcare, shelter, and other critical services in the region, prompting fears of a humanitarian crisis.
