Global NGOs working in Gaza defy Israel’s threats after MSF ban

As Israel cracks down on international aid groups supporting Palestinians after decimating Gaza’s healthcare system, eight NGOs say they will defy an order to provide information about their colleagues working in occupied Palestine. “It’s an absolute red line,” a Premiere Urgence Internationale spokesperson stated adding that Sending lists about employees to Israel “would potentially endanger the lives of our staff”. Medecins du Monde said: “Humanitarian access is not optional, conditional, or political. Israel is unconditionally obliged to facilitate relief schemes under international humanitarian law.”
