Israel Halts NGOs in Gaza, Accuses 'Doctors Without Borders' Amid Rain Crisis
- •Israel plans to suspend several humanitarian organizations, including 'Doctors Without Borders' (MSF), in Gaza from January 1.
- •The Ministry of Refugee Affairs cites non-compliance with new rules requiring information sharing on staff, funding, and operations.
- •'Doctors Without Borders' is accused of failing to clarify roles of employees allegedly linked to Hamas; MSF has not commented.
- •Other international organizations deem Israel's new rules arbitrary and a threat to staff safety.
- •Simultaneously, heavy winter rains have flooded displaced persons' camps in Gaza, worsening the humanitarian crisis for Palestinians in Khan Younis and Rafah.
