PARIS: Despite Israel’s top court removing a prohibition against them, foreign relief organizations are finding it difficult to operate in the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly war-torn Gaza, according to a director of one of the organizations on Monday.
Humanitarian organizations cautioned that Israel’s December announcement that it was prohibiting 37 non-governmental organizations from providing comprehensive information about their Palestinian employees would further restrict already insufficient supplies to Gaza.
The NGOs could theoretically continue operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank until a final decision was made after Israel’s Supreme Court froze that restriction in February. However, international “staff continued to be rejected, supplies continued to be rejected,” according to Danish Refugee Council director for the Palestinian territories Alan Moseley.
He claimed that in recent months, hardly no foreign organization targeted by the Israeli boycott has been able to deliver aid into Gaza. According to him, even if a shaky truce agreement reached in October permitted commercial trucks to deliver necessities, they are frequently far too costly for Gazans following months of conflict. Some NGOs had purchased things directly in Gaza to distribute them, or they had been able to transport relief using UN trucks that were still permitted entry.
