Israel is still starving gauze, prohibiting non-governmental organizations to provide its help, unless they provide detailed information about their Palestinian employees-over 100 non-profit organized in a joint statement. They added that humanitarian cooperation was suspended on March 2, despite Israel's assurances that there are no restrictions on the supply of humanitarian aid to gauze.
Only in July, Israel rejected over 60 applications of non-profit organization for the possibility of providing assistance to the Gaza Strip. He stated that they were not “authorized” to this activity in accordance with the regulations regarding the registration of non -governmental organizations introduced in March.
These provisions allow the Israeli government to refuse to register on the basis of “unclear and politicized” criteria, including on the basis of the alleged “delegitimization” or calls for a boycott of the state of Israel. Registration also requires non -governmental organizations to provide detailed information about private donors, a full list of Palestinian employees and personal data of the staff. This, however, is associated with exposure to death.
Israel gave some non-governmental organizations a seven-day ultimatum to provide missing information under the threat of annulment of registration applications-such information appeared in a statement signed by 104 NGOs and in an e-mail to which Politico has reached.
NGOs say they cannot transfer this data because it is unlawful, and for this They are afraid of the safety of their employees.
“In the most difficult conditions for employees of humanitarian organizations around the world, where 98 percent Palestinians are killed. NGOs do not guarantee that the provision of such information will not expose employees to further risk or will not be used to achieve military and political goals declared by the Israeli government ” – you can read in a statement.
