United Nations experts said on Thursday that Israel’s suspension of dozens of humanitarian organizations operating in the occupied Palestinian territory constitutes a flagrant violation of international law. They accused Israel of “worsening life-threatening conditions” by obstructing humanitarian aid, according to media sources.

“Banning life-saving organizations from operating in Gaza marks a new phase in a policy that renders life unbearable for a population already devastated by genocide,” the experts stated. They warned that such measures would create conditions of chronic deprivation, threaten the survival of Palestinians as a group, and further violate the Genocide Convention, stressing that the policy must be halted.

The experts noted that the measure, announced as a national security regulation on December 30, 2025, bans 37 international non-governmental organizations from operating in Gaza and the West Bank.
