Overview

• More than 100 international NGOs say new INGO registration and clearance rules have prevented them from delivering life-saving aid to Gaza and left millions of dollars of supplies stranded in ports and warehouses.
• Reuters interviews with aid officials and truckers describe routine rejections of Gaza-bound shipments at Rafah and Kerem Shalom over minor paperwork and security checks, limiting flows to a fraction of the UN’s 600-truck daily target.
• COGAT rejects NGO accusations, stating that about 300 aid trucks enter Gaza each day and that Israel imposes no quantitative limits on humanitarian assistance.
• Major aid organisations have boycotted the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation over deadly bottlenecks at militarised distribution sites and concerns about neutrality and politicisation.
• UN special rapporteurs warn of systematic damage to Gaza’s medical infrastructure, labeling it ‘medicide’ and cautioning that hospitals are on the brink of collapse.
