Israel threatens to ban major aid organizations as starvation deepens in Gaza

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is one of more than 100 organizations calling for an end to Israel’s weaponization of aid.

Israel's ongoing obstruction of aid has left millions of dollars’ worth of food, medicine, water, and shelter items stranded in warehouses, while Palestinians are being starved. Israel is imposing a new registration system for international organizations that is being used to further block aid despite the urgent needs.

These restrictions are part of a broader strategy that includes the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) scheme—a militarized aid distribution mechanism being used as a deadly tool of control. At least 859 Palestinians have been killed around GHF sites since it began operating.

We are calling on states to use their influence with Israel to ensure the delivery of lifesaving humanitarian aid to people in Gaza.
