Palestinians in Gaza fear their lives will be destroyed if Israel's planned ban on dozens of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide life-saving assistance and services in the territory goes ahead, sparking widespread concern among displaced Palestinians. The NGOs, which include humanitarian groups, advocacy organizations, and healthcare providers, have been providing essential services to Gaza's population for years. The potential ban would severely limit the ability of these organizations to operate in Gaza, leaving thousands without access to critical aid and support. The move has been met with alarm from Palestinian leaders and international human rights groups.
