Dozens of humanitarian organizations have filed a petition with the Israeli Supreme Court to continue their operations in the Gaza Strip. This appeal comes in response to Israel's recent orders demanding that these groups cease their activities unless they comply with new regulations, which include revealing the identities of their personnel. Such measures have been introduced with a deadline of 60 days, posing an imminent risk to the ongoing humanitarian efforts in the region.

The concerns raised by these organizations are significant, as many state that disclosing this information could place their staff members in grave danger. This is particularly alarming given the history of violence faced by humanitarian workers in the region; several have lost their lives or suffered injuries during the recent escalations in conflict. The stipulated regulations, considered as severe constraints on crucial assistance, could lead to the withdrawal of vital support for the civilians caught in conflict.

Organizations like Doctors Without Borders and the Norwegian Refugee Council, among others, are particularly vocal about the implications of these new rules. The collective call for intervention from the Supreme Court highlights the tension between national security concerns expressed by Israel and the urgent humanitarian needs of the Gazan population. This clash raises critical questions about the viability of international aid work in conflict zones and the protection of vulnerable populations who rely on such support.
