Israel has announced it will stop dozens of aid organisations working in Gaza within 36 hours for failing to meet stringent new requirements to hand over personal details of Palestinian and international staff deployed in the devastated territory.

The list of groups hit by the ban include some of the world’s best known humanitarian organisations such as ActionAid, International Rescue Committee and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

Tuesday’s announcement by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs comes amid fierce storms that in recent days have destroyed thousands of tents in Gaza, exacerbating an already acute humanitarian crisis.

Foreign ministers of 10 nations expressed “serious concerns” about a “renewed deterioration of the humanitarian situation” in the devastated territory, saying the situation was “catastrophic”.

1. Yep, gotta hide what they are gonna do

[snot]

2. We should be coming to Gazans' rescue,

not supporting their obliteration.

The perpetrators and abettors of this genocide are sick people.

3. Not even the Red Cross?

4. I can't see a full list

From The Guardian and the BBC, the ban seems to include
ActionAid, International Rescue Committee, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Care International, divisions of Oxfam and Caritas, the Norwegian Refugee Council, CARE, Medico International and Medical Aid for Palestinians.

I'd guess one of them would have listed the Red Cross if it were banned too.

5. The next stage for Israel's genocide is starvation by preventing help from aid organizations.

Doctors Without Borders is a well respected organization whose volunteers have provided medical care around the world. Israel will continue denying food and medical care to Palestinians. Obviously, Trump doesn’t care what Netanyahu does. The only reason he supported a ceasefire was because of his desperate need for the Nobel Peace Prize. It seems to be eating him alive that Obama was awarded the prize and Trump has not. How dare they give a black man such a prize!

6. It has been pretty obvious for a while that the cruelty is the point

7. The time has come at

long last for the UN General Assembly to at least make the vote for Israel to be expelled from the UN. Although it would be largely symbolic because US bullying would prevent expulsion from happening it should still take place.
