"On January 1, the Israeli occupation revoked the licenses of 37 international and local humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, and it has now warned they must " must complete the cessation of their activities by March 1, 2026." These organizations provide essential services to civilians: delivering food aid to the poor, supplying clean drinking water, supporting hospitals with medicines and medical equipment, protecting children and women, and overseeing education and nutrition programs in camps and local communities."
"The license revocation came at the same time that Donald Trump established the "Board of Peace" tasked with overseeing Gaza's reconstruction and implementing the second phase of the ceasefire. This international group, which includes no representation of Palestinians themselves, is allegedly responsible for facilitating the delivery of aid and the rebuilding of war-damaged areas. However, the ban on humanitarian organizations creates a significant gap, threatening the continuity of vital relief programs and leaving thousands of Palestinians without real protection amid harsh living conditions."
On January 1, Israeli authorities revoked the licenses of 37 international and local humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza and ordered them to cease activities by March 1, 2026. These organizations deliver food aid, clean drinking water, medical supplies and equipment, child and women protection services, education, and nutrition programs across camps and communities. The license revocation risks interrupting essential relief and threatens thousands of civilians who depend on daily aid amid a severe humanitarian crisis. The revocation coincided with the establishment of a "Board of Peace" charged with overseeing Gaza's reconstruction and a ceasefire phase. The board includes no Palestinian representation, creating concerns about aid delivery and accountability under international humanitarian law.
