"The move has been widely criticised by humanitarian groups, who say it risks further endangering aid workers in a context where Israel's military has already killed more than 1,700 health workers since the start of its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza in October 2023, including at least 15 MSF employees. On January 1, Israel withdrew the licences of 37 aid organisations including MSF, the Norwegian Refugee Council, the International Rescue Committee and Oxfam saying they had failed to comply with the new requirements."
"The Israel's military has killed more than 1,700 health workers since the start of the war. Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has said it will not provide Israeli authorities with the personal details of its staff working in Gaza and across the occupied Palestinian territory, citing concerns for staff safety and a lack of assurances over how the information would be used."
Israel's military has killed more than 1,700 health workers since the start of the war. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) refused to hand Israeli authorities personal details of its staff in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territory, citing safety concerns and lack of assurances about information use. MSF initially indicated willingness to share names under strict conditions but later withdrew that position after failing to secure guarantees. Israel demanded detailed staff, funding and operational data from international aid organisations and on January 1 revoked licences of 37 groups for non-compliance. New regulations require sensitive personal documents and allow barring organisations for alleged incitement or denial.
