Submission statement: Israel has revoked licences from 37 humanitarian organisations, including French org Doctors Without Borders (MSF), that operate in the Gaza Strip, obliging them to cease all activity there by 1 March. Almost all Palestinians in the enclave depend on aid, which is already restricted, and the organisations in quesion provide services for 300,000-400,000 people. Israel said it revoked the org’s licence because they refused to hand over lists of their Palestinian employees, an unprecedented request. Israel has killed around 500 aid workers since the war’s beginning. Some EU countries condemned the decision.
