Israel Prohibits MSF Operations in Gaza Due to Staff List Dispute

Israel has halted MSF's activities in Gaza as the charity declines to disclose its personnel list, citing safety concerns for its employees.

The Israeli government has made the decision to prohibit the humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from operating within the Gaza Strip. This action follows MSF's refusal to provide a list of its staff members, which the organization argues is necessary to protect their safety amid ongoing conflict.

MSF has emphasized that sharing such sensitive information could jeopardize the well-being of its personnel, who are already facing significant risks in the region. The charity's commitment to safeguarding its workers is paramount, leading to its decision to decline the request from Israeli authorities.
