AS STARVATION DEEPENS MORE THAN 100 ORGANISATIONS HAVE CHARGED ISRAEL TO STOP THE WEAPONIZATION OF AID INTO GAZA.
THEY MADE THIS CALL IN A LETTER THEY JOINTLY SIGNED, ACCUSING ISRAEL OF WREAKING MORE HAVOC ON HUMANS.
HUMANITARIAN GROUPS, INCLUDING OXFAM AND MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES (MSF), SAY THEY ARE INCREASINGLY BEING TOLD THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DELIVER AID, UNLESS THEY COMPLY WITH THE STRICTER ISRAELI REGULATIONS.
GROUPS RISK BEING BANNED IF THEY DELEGITIMIZE THE STATE OF ISRAEL OR DO NOT PROVIDE DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT PALESTINIAN STAFF.
HOWEVER, IN ITS RESPONSE, ISRAEL DENIES THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS ON AID AND SAID THAT THE RULES, INTRODUCED IN MARCH, ENSURE THAT AID REACHES THE POPULATION DIRECTLY AND NOT HAMAS.
