Seventeen aid groups have petitioned Israel's Supreme Court in February 2026 after the Israeli government moved to ban 37 NGOs operating in Gaza. The ban is contingent on the organizations providing detailed data on their Palestinian staff to the Israeli government. International agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, are impacted by this demand. These organizations warn that the Israeli government's actions could trigger a humanitarian collapse in Gaza. The aid groups are challenging the demand in court, citing concerns about the potential consequences for the delivery of aid and the safety of their staff.
