UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres urged Israel to reverse its ban on 37 foreign humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, citing deep concern over the decision. Israel stated the ban aims to prevent organizations it accuses of supporting terrorism from operating, requiring NGOs to share lists of Palestinian employees by March 1. Several NGOs argue this violates humanitarian law and independence. The ban, which includes Doctors Without Borders, risks undermining progress made during the fragile ceasefire and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
