flag Israel suspends 37 NGOs in Gaza and West Bank Jan. 1, 2026, citing security and compliance issues, sparking global concern over aid access.

flag 37 humanitarian organizations in Gaza and the West Bank have been suspended by Israel due to security concerns and noncompliance with new registration regulations, which include requirements regarding funding, personnel, and political stance. flag The action, which goes into effect on January 1, 2026, comes after claims of affiliation with extremist organizations and previous security evaluations involving NGO employees. flag International organizations caution that the decision could exacerbate the humanitarian crisis by restricting millions of people's access to food, water, and medical care, despite Israel's claims that the restrictions won't affect aid and that the prohibited groups only contributed roughly 1% of pre-ceasefire assistance. flag Israel has been asked by the UN and Western governments to guarantee unhindered humanitarian access.
