Israel has ordered Doctors Without Borders to end its operations in the Gaza Strip by the end of February. The decision follows the aid group's refusal to comply with new Israeli restrictions, including providing personal details of all Gazan employees and limiting criticism of Israel's conduct during the war. Doctors Without Borders, a major provider of medical care in Gaza, says it runs or supports over 20% of remaining hospital beds and provides other critical services. The organization says that if it cannot work, it will have catastrophic consequences for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Israel claims the requirements are to prevent militants from infiltrating aid organizations.
