{“Catastrophic”: Ten Countries Warn of Renewed Deterioration in Gaza’s Humanitarian Situation Amid Israeli Blockade
The statement comes as Israel says it will suspend more than three dozen humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, for allegedly failing to meet its new rules for aid groups working in Gaza.
Gaza (QNN)- Ten countries, including Canada and Britain, have expressed “serious concerns” over a “renewed deterioration of the humanitarian situation” in Gaza, describing conditions as “catastrophic” as Israel continues to block much-needed aid from entering the war-torn Strip, despite the ceasefire. “As winter draws in civilians in Gaza are facing appalling conditions with heavy rainfall and temperatures dropping,” the Foreign Ministers of Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland said in a joint statement on Tuesday. “1.3 million people still require urgent shelter support. More than half of health facilities are only partially functional and face shortages of essential medical equipment and supplies. The total collapse of sanitation infrastructure has left 740,000 people vulnerable to toxic flooding.” The countries urged Israel to ensure international NGOs can operate in Gaza in a “sustained and predictable” way and called for the opening of land crossings to boost the flow of humanitarian aid. The statement called on Israel to allow international NGOs to operate in Gaza in a “sustained and predictable” manner, warning that many established aid organisations face deregistration by the end of December due to new Israeli restrictions. “As 31 December approaches, many established international NGO partners are at risk of being deregistered because of the government of Israel’s restrictive new requirements,” it said. It also called for the UN and its partners to be able to continue their work in Gaza and for the lifting of "unreasonable restrictions on imports considered to have a dual use". This included medical and shelter equipment. They said other corridors for moving goods remained closed or severely restricted for humanitarian aid, including Rafah. "Bureaucratic customs processes and extensive screenings are causing delays, while commercial cargo is being allowed in more freely," the statement said. "The target of 4,200 trucks per week, including an allocation of 250 UN trucks per day, should be a floor not a ceiling. These targets should be lifted so we can be sure the vital supplies are getting in at the vast scale needed," it added. Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the joint statement “false but unsurprising” and “part of a recurring pattern of detached criticism and one-sided demands on Israel.” The statement comes as Israel says it will suspend more than three dozen humanitarian organisations, including Doctors Without Borders, for allegedly failing to meet its new rules for aid groups working in Gaza. Organisations facing bans starting on Thursday didn’t meet new requirements for sharing information on their staffs, funding and operations, Israeli authorities said. Other major organisations affected include the Norwegian Refugee Council, CARE International, the International Rescue Committee, and divisions of major charities such as Oxfam and Caritas. “The message is clear: Humanitarian assistance is welcome. The exploitation of humanitarian frameworks for terrorism is not,” Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli claimed. International organisations said Israel’s rules are arbitrary. Israel cliamed 37 groups working in Gaza didn’t have their permits renewed. Amjad Shawa from the Palestine NGOs Network said the decision by Israel is part of its ongoing effort  “to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza. The limitations on the humanitarian operations in Gaza are in order to continue their project to push out the Palestinians, deport Gaza. This is one of the things Israel continues doing,” Shawa told Al Jazeera. Israel changed its registration process for aid groups in March, which included a requirement to submit a list of staff, including Palestinians in Gaza. Some aid groups said they didn’t submit a list of Palestinian staff for fear those employees would be targeted by Israel. “It comes from a legal and safety perspective. In Gaza, we saw hundreds of aid workers get killed,” said Shaina Low, communications adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council. Recently, more than 100 aid groups accused Israel of obstructing life-saving aid from entering Gaza and called on it to end its “weaponisation of aid” as it refused to allow aid trucks to enter the battered Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire which took effect in October. The decision comes as the enclave is imminently facing freezing temperatures, rain and strong winds, with more than 20 people have died ove the past weeks from hypothermia and collapsing buildings, including children.
Israel’s two-year war has destroyed more than 80 percent of the structures across Gaza, forcing hundreds of thousands of families to take refuge in flimsy tents or overcrowded makeshift shelters. The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, says the Israeli occupation government has blocked it from bringing aid directly into Gaza. “People have reportedly died due to the collapse of damaged buildings where families were sheltering. Children have reportedly died from exposure to the cold,” UNRWA said on. “This must stop. Aid must be allowed in at scale, now.”} Video - Source: https://qudsnen.co/post?id=66972&slug=catastrophic-ten-countries-warn-of-renewed-deterioration-in-gazas-humanitarian-situation-amid-israeli-blockade

{Aid Groups Urge Israel to Reconsider Suspension of 37 “Life-Saving” Organizations
International NGOs, the group said, “are an essential part of the life-saving humanitarian operation” in the occupied Palestinian territory.
Gaza (QNN)-A consortium of international and local NGOs has urged Israel to reconsider its suspension of 37 organisations, warning that they are an essential part of life-saving humanitarian operations in the occupied Palestinian territory. The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), which brings together senior UN officials and more than 200 local and international aid groups working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, said it was “urging the Israeli authorities to reconsider” the move.

{Doctors Without Borders calls on Israel to allow teams to work in Gaza, occupied West Bank in 2026
Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (also known by its French acronym, MSF) has urged Israel to allow it to continue operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank in the new year. “We call on the Israeli authorities to ensure that MSF and other INGOs (international nongovernmental organisations) are registered in Israel to continue working in the West Bank and Gaza in 2026,” MSF told the AFP news agency in a statement. Israel plans to ban 37 aid groups, including MSF, from operating in Gaza starting tomorrow unless they hand over detailed information on their Palestinian staff members.
& Effects of Trump aid cuts felt heavily on the ground, expert says
The US administration’s move to cut funding to aid groups is having a “severe” humanitarian impact on the ground as well as damaging US soft power, according to a senior fellow and lecturer at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. “When we talk about USAID programmes and their impact, many have an emphasis on branding, which was a conscious element of USAID strategy,” Edward Joseph told Al Jazeera from Washington, DC. “Every sack of flour, every programme, every element had that distinctive symbol that said ‘the gift of the American people’. You have eviscerated that.” The expert on US foreign policy said the Trump administration “simply doesn’t care” about how its actions are received, as is also seen in its conduct over domestic issues like corruption. “The Trump administration has been very blatant in its approach. For example, major donations resulting in a presidential pardon. There is nothing subtle or hidden about this. The same goes for the contempt for the image and the concerns.”
& Israel’s NGO ban intends to ‘disappear’ Palestinians, breaches international law
Neve Gordon, professor of international and human rights law at Queen Mary University of London, has told Al Jazeera that Israel’s ban on aid groups is a way of “strangling” Palestinians while also breaking international law. “This is a different kind of strategy of clamping down on the Palestinians, strangling them, hoping that they will disappear, that they will want to leave the Gaza Strip,” Gordon said. International law requires that an occupying power must provide for civilians, Gordon said, making Israel’s latest move a “grave” violation. “What we have seen in the past two years – and is still going on now – is the use of starvation as a method of war, by depriving the population of objects that are indispensable to their survival,” he said. “This is not something random, this is not something that is based on a certain intelligence.”
& Belgian FM calls on Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid access to Gaza
Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot called on Israel to remove the restrictions it placed on humanitarian access in the Palestinian territories, emphasising that humanitarian access is  “neither optional, nor conditional or political”. “The ICJ [International Court of Justice] asserted Israel’s unconditional obligation under international humanitarian law to ensure the unhindered provision of humanitarian relief to the civilian population,” Prevot wrote on X, referring to the ICJ’s advisory opinion that Israel has an unconditional obligation under international humanitarian law to ensure the unhindered delivery of aid to civilians. “Professional humanitarian actors like UNRWA and INGOs funded by Belgium comply with the highest standards of transparency, impartiality and independence. I reiterate my call to Israel to cooperate with all humanitarian actors in good faith, based on clear and non-politicised criteria, to maximise the delivery of aid in Palestine,” he said, calling on Israel to remove all “humanitarian access constraints”.
& Switzerland warns of catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza
The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs has said the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip has reached “catastrophic levels” and warned that harsh winter conditions are compounding the crisis. Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis called on Israeli authorities to ensure access to humanitarian aid to Gaza, including by opening crossings to enable large-scale delivery of assistance. The comments come a day after a similar statement was issued jointly by the foreign ministers of the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Japan, Norway and Sweden.
& UN rights chief says Israeli aid suspensions will make situation in Gaza ‘even worse’
UN rights chief Volker Turk calls Israel’s threat to suspend aid groups from operating in Gaza from tomorrow “outrageous”. “Israel’s suspension of numerous aid agencies from Gaza is outrageous,” Turk said in a statement. “Such arbitrary suspensions make an already intolerable situation even worse for the people of Gaza,” he warned. Israel announced that unless 37 aid organisations comply with new guidelines, which require detailed information on Palestinian staff, they will be banned from operating in Gaza. “This is the latest in a pattern of unlawful restrictions on humanitarian access,” Turk said, pointing to Israel’s ban on the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, and “attacks on Israeli and Palestinian NGOs amid broader access issues faced by the UN and other humanitarians”. “I urge all States, in particular those with influence, to take urgent steps and insist that Israel immediately allows aid to get into Gaza unhindered,” he said.
& Israel’s NGO ban sets ‘dangerous precedent’ for humanitarian work: UNRWA
Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, says Israel’s suspension of 37 aid organisations in Gaza shows “a troubling pattern of disregard for international humanitarian law”. “This is a dangerous precedent,” Lazzarini wrote on social media platform X. “Failing to push back against attempts to control the work of aid organisations will further undermine the basic humanitarian principles of neutrality, independence, impartiality and humanity underpinning aid work across the world.”
& Israel’s NGO ban intends to ‘disappear’ Palestinians, breaches international law

& EU warns suspending Gaza aid groups would block ‘life-saving aid’
The EU has warned that Israel’s move to suspend several aid groups in Gaza under new registration rules would block “life-saving” assistance from reaching the Palestinian population. “The EU has been clear: the NGO registration law can not be implemented in its current form,” EU humanitarian chief Hadja Lahbib posted on X. “IHL [international humanitarian law] leaves no room for doubt: aid must reach those in need.”
& ‘Israel continues to block us whether we’re registered or not’: Oxfam
Humanitarian organisations operating in Gaza are expressing uncertainty over how Israel’s new rules will be impacting their work in the Gaza Strip, but noted that the humanitarian blockade Israel has imposed since March 2 had already precipitated the situation. Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam’s policy lead in the occupied Palestinian territory, told Al Jazeera that the new Israeli requirements will prevent NGOs from operating in Israel but should not prevent them from operating inside Gaza and the West Bank, given that they’d still be registered under the Palestinian Authority (PA). “It does impact what we can bring into Gaza, but we’ve been blocked anyway from entering materials into Gaza since March,” Khalidi said. “Israel continues to block us whether we’re registered or not and has continued to deliberately obstruct humanitarian aid regardless of these rules.” Khalidi added that the latest measures were “part of Israel’s longstanding campaign of marginalising, isolating and smearing civil society organisations”.
& Banned aid groups ‘not met with good faith’ from Israel: NRC
Shaina Low, communications adviser for the newly-suspended Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), says Israel’s suspension of international NGOs “doesn’t come as a surprise to us”. “It falls in line with what we’ve seen over the last two-plus years of Israeli authorities continually obstructing the operations of humanitarian aid organisations – impartial, independent, neutral, principled humanitarian agencies,” Low told Washington, DC-based National Public Radio (NPR). NRC, which has worked in Gaza since 2009, will continue on-the-ground-operations “as best as we can”, Low said. But the suspension means the organisation can no longer bring international staff to Gaza, removing a critical “extra layer of support, an extra layer of protection” for Palestinian NRC workers trying to survive the genocidal war. Before the suspension, Low said, NRC explained to Israel that it could not supply Israel with a list of its national staff, both to protect their safety and to comply with European Union data protection laws. The organisation worked with diplomats and donors “to try and engage the Israeli authorities to productively find an alternative solution”. “But we were not met with good faith from the Israeli authorities. We were not given any alternatives, and so this is where we are now,” Low said.
& New registration system for aid groups aims to ban their work in Gaza
By Nida Ibrahim Reporting from Ramallah, the occupied West Bank
In an attempt to legitimise the notorious aid agency backed by the US, GHF, Israeli authorities have introduced a new registration system for international organisations delivering aid to Gaza, asking them for a list of their full employees and many other details. These organisations say this information goes against EU data protection laws and is not a legitimate request, but instead aims to get them banned from working in Gaza. Some of these aid groups have offices in the occupied West Bank and have already been going through severe limitations, including limiting the visas for international staff. Palestinian organisations are also facing limitations to their work. I’m standing in front of the building of the Palestinian organisation Health Work Committee, one of many Palestinian organisations that Israeli forces have shut down, citing security concerns.
& Gaza NGOs urge Israel to reconsider ban on ‘live-saving’ services
A consortium of international and local NGOs has called on Israel to reconsider its suspension of 37 organisations. The Humanitarian Country Team, which coordinates decisions across UN agencies and NGOs working in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, said it was “urging the Israeli authorities to reconsider” the move. International NGOs, the group said, “are an essential part of the life-saving humanitarian operation” in the occupied Palestinian territory.
& Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemns Israel’s move to bar aid groups from Gaza
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has issued a statement in which it “strongly condemns” Israel’s move to issue new registration rules for relief agencies that could cut off life-saving assistance for hundreds of thousands in Gaza. “Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem,” the ministry said, adding that the work of relief agencies is welcomed by Palestinians. The ministry said preventing those organisations from operating constitutes a breach of international law, including an advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stating that Israel has an obligation to ensure the “basic needs” of the population in Gaza are met. “No entity has the right to stop their services or obstruct their work,” the ministry said. “Israel does not want any witnesses to its crimes, nor does it want institutions that support the Palestinian people and prevent Israel from implementing its colonial project aimed at destroying the lives of the Palestinian people.” } and more incl. israeli propaganda at Video - Source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/12/31/live-israels-ban-on-aid-organisations-in-gaza

Al Jazeera - Dec 28, 2025 By Ahmed Najar
{When Palestinian existence is portrayed as hate
Israel and its supporters would have you believe that just being a Palestinian is a lethal threat.
I am a Palestinian. And increasingly, that fact alone is treated as a provocation.
In recent months, I have watched anti-Semitism — a real, lethal form of hatred with a long and horrific history — be stripped of its meaning and weaponised to silence Palestinians, criminalise solidarity with us, and shield Israel from accountability as it carries out a genocide in Gaza. This is not about protecting Jewish people. It is about protecting power.
The pattern is now impossible to ignore.
A children’s educator, Ms Rachel, whose entire public work is built around care, learning, and empathy, is branded “Anti-Semite of the Year” — not for her engaging in any form of hate speech, but for expressing concern for Palestinian children. For acknowledging that children in Gaza are being bombed, starved, and traumatised. For expressing compassion. As a Palestinian, I hear the message clearly: even empathy for our children is dangerous. Then there is Palestine Action, a protest movement that targets weapons manufacturers supplying Israel’s military. Instead of being debated, challenged, or even criticised within a democratic framework, it is proscribed as a “terrorist” organisation, casually equated with ISIL (ISIS) – a group responsible for mass executions, sexual slavery, and genocidal violence. This comparison is not just obscene. It is deliberate. It collapses the meaning of “terrorism” so completely that political dissent becomes extremism by definition. Resistance becomes pathology. Protest becomes “terror”. And Palestinians, once again, are framed not as a people under occupation, but as a permanent threat. Language itself is now being criminalised. Phrases like “globalise the Intifada” are banned without any serious engagement with history or meaning. Intifada — a word that literally means “shaking off” — is torn from its political context as an uprising against military occupation and reduced to a slur. Palestinians are denied even the right to name their resistance.
At the same time, international law is being actively dismantled.
Staff and judges at the International Criminal Court are sanctioned and intimidated for daring to investigate Israeli war crimes. Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur on Palestine, has not only been sanctioned, but also relentlessly smeared — because she uses the language of international law to describe occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
When international law is applied to African leaders, it is celebrated.
When it is applied to Israel, it is treated as an act of hostility.
This brings us to Australia — and to one of the most revealing moments of all.
After the horrific Bondi Beach attack, which shocked and horrified people across Australia, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the Australian government of encouraging anti-Semitism. Not because of any incitement, not because of inflammatory rhetoric — but because Australia had moved towards recognising Palestine as a state.
Read that again.
The diplomatic recognition of Palestinian statehood — long framed as essential to peace and grounded in international law — is presented as a moral failing, even as a contributor to anti-Semitic violence. Palestinian existence itself is treated as the problem. What makes this moment so disturbing is not only that Netanyahu made this claim, but that so many centres of power ran with it rather than challenged it. Instead of forcefully rejecting the idea that recognising Palestinian rights could “encourage anti-Semitism”, governments, institutions, and commentators allowed the premise to stand. Some echoed it outright. Others stayed silent. Almost none confronted the dangerous logic at its core: that Palestinian political recognition is inherently destabilising, provocative, or threatening.
This is how moral collapse happens — not with thunder, but with acquiescence.
The result is not safety for the Jewish people, but erasure of the Palestinian people.
As a Palestinian, I find it devastating.
It means my identity is not merely contested — it is criminalised. My grief is not simply ignored — it is politicised. My demand for justice is not debated — it is pathologised as hatred. Anti-Semitism is real. It must be confronted seriously and without hesitation. The Jewish people deserve safety, dignity, and protection — everywhere. But when anti-Semitism is stretched to include children’s educators, UN experts, international judges, protest movements, chants, words, and even the diplomatic recognition of Palestine, then the term no longer serves to protect Jewish people. It protects a state from accountability. Worse still, this weaponisation endangers Jews by collapsing Jewish identity into the actions of a government committing mass atrocities. It tells the world that Israel speaks for all Jews — and that anyone who objects must therefore be hostile to Jews themselves. That is not protection. It is recklessness masquerading as morality.
For Palestinians like me, the psychological toll is immense.
I am tired of having to preface every sentence with disclaimers.
I am deeply pained by watching my people starve while being lectured about tone.
I am angry that international law seems to apply only in certain politically convenient cases.
And I am grieving — not just for Gaza, but for the moral collapse unfolding around it.
Opposing genocide is not anti-Semitism.
Solidarity is not “terrorism”.
Recognising Palestine is not incitement.
Naming your suffering is not violence.
If the world insists on calling me an anti-Semite for refusing to accept the annihilation of my people, then it is not anti-Semitism that is being countered.
It is genocide that is being justified.
And history will remember who helped make that possible.

I had just begun my third year studying English translation at university when the war started. The onslaught turned my life upside down – it erased colours, shattered dreams, and broke my spirit. University education – the centre of my life and ambition – stopped. Gaza itself came to a standstill amid unprecedented destruction. Like all families in Gaza, my family and I have suffered greatly during this war. Two years of genocide robbed us of our health and sense of stability. We were forced to flee 10 times, moving from northern Gaza to Khan Younis in the south, then to Rafah, then to Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. After more than a year, we returned to Gaza City, only to be displaced again to Khan Younis eight months after our return. Our home was badly damaged; we are now forced to live in it, with tarpaulins instead of walls. In the summer of 2024, universities reopened but only for online learning. I registered, not because I still believed I could achieve my dream of being a teaching assistant, but because I wanted to finish what I had started. I completed my third year – the year that was supposed to shape me as a future lecturer – from inside a tent, using unstable internet. In February, my final year began. A few months later, famine hit us. My health started to deteriorate due to the lack of food, the displacement, and the constant fear of bombing. I lost nearly 15kg in a sudden, unhealthy bout of weight loss. My body became frail, and I was constantly dizzy due to the lack of food. At some point, we had just one meal in the middle of the day, one that was hardly enough to feed a baby. I could see my collarbones becoming more prominent as the famine worsened. I also began to notice the severe weight loss of my family members, especially my mother. There were moments when I felt that we were on the brink of losing her. I became afraid to stay awake past 8pm, fearing the hunger I constantly felt. Despite all the hardship, I decided not to let the war break me. I kept reminding myself that Gaza is the land of everything, and that what matters is the “now”. One night, I decided to start my own project – if I couldn’t light minds with knowledge, I could light phones – or charge them. I shared with my family the idea of starting a small phone-charging project using a small solar panel, and they fully supported me. The next morning, I wrote on a piece of paper: “Phone Charging Point” and hung it outside our tent, and my career as a phone-charging business owner began. I made numbered cards and attached them to each phone to ensure none got lost. My days became filled with voices calling out, “Shahed, how’s phone number 7?” I would smile outwardly, but inside, I would carry a deep ache – the ache of never imagining my final year of university would look like this. I struggled with cloudy weather, too many phones, and final exams. Every passing cloud that blocked the sun would cut off the power supply since I didn’t have a large battery for storage. In those moments, I cried from exhaustion and helplessness. Every day, I earned around $10, just enough to buy internet cards and simple things I once took for granted, like a packet of chips or a box of juice. I would sit there, watching the phones charge, thinking: That was supposed to be my time, my time as a teaching assistant at the university. I took my final exams in October while surrounded by phones that were not charging because of cloudy skies, tears streaming down my face. I am one of hundreds of thousands of young people in Gaza who refuse to let the war write the end of our stories. Education is our form of resistance; that is why the occupation sought to obliterate it. It hoped to send us into the darkness of ignorance, dejection and resignation. Yet, the youth of Gaza stand undefeated. We have continued to pursue our education online, battling constant internet blackouts. We continue to support ourselves and our families however we can – some selling food in small street stalls, others offering private tutoring, or starting small businesses. Many are applying for scholarships so they can continue their education abroad. All of this is proof that Gaza’s youth love life, love their homeland, and are determined to rebuild it, not as it once was, but even better. I’m now applying for scholarships outside Gaza to pursue my master’s degree. I want to go abroad, study and then return one day not to charge phones, but to charge minds. If I get accepted, I will hand over my small phone-charging project to my younger brother Anas, whose dream is to become a journalist, to tell the truth about Gaza and its people. He and I, and the rest of our peers in Gaza, refuse to give up.
