Israel moves to bar MSF from Gaza over staff-list demand
Israel said it will ban Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from Gaza after the charity refused to provide a staff list, citing safety concerns amid new NGO registration rules that require worker details. MSF had offered to share names under strict safeguards, but could not secure assurances that staff would be protected. The move follows a broader push to revoke licenses of 37 NGOs operating in Gaza and the West Bank. UN agencies warn the decision could severely hamper healthcare access, while MSF remains a major provider, running about 20 health centers and delivering hundreds of thousands of consultations during the conflict. The Gaza war has caused thousands of casualties among Palestinians and others, with many healthcare workers among the victims.
