More than 100 international aid organisations have warned that new Israeli registration rules are preventing them from delivering life-saving supplies to Gaza. In a joint letter published on 14 August, groups such as Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, CARE and Plan International said they have been unable to move a single truck across the border since 2 March, when Israel began requiring foreign NGOs to submit detailed donor lists and personal data on Palestinian staff for security vetting. The organisations describe the measures as a bureaucratic stranglehold that could force many groups to halt operations within 60 days. They argue the rules expose employees to detention, undermine data-protection laws and give Israel broad grounds to bar assistance if a group is judged to be ‘delegitimising’ the state. The letter urges donor governments to press Israel to drop the requirements and to open all crossings “immediately and unconditionally”. Israel rejects the accusations. The military body that oversees aid deliveries, COGAT, said 380 trucks carrying relief entered Gaza on 13 August and that six countries airdropped 119 food packages the following day. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters that Israel has no policy aimed at starving Gaza’s population. United Nations agencies say conditions in Gaza are deteriorating despite those shipments. UNICEF estimates that about 13,000 children are suffering severe acute malnutrition, while the Gaza Health Ministry reports at least 239 deaths linked to hunger, including 106 children. The UN called the situation a “humanitarian catastrophe” and demanded unimpeded access across the enclave.
