and ultimately continue our medical mission for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who must not be abandoned in their time of greatest need.

Despite our concern that these administrative blockages form part of broader efforts to undermine, discredit, and defame humanitarian action, we continue to seek dialogue with the Israeli authorities, to reassert the principles of independent humanitarian aid...

To avoid being forced to suspend ops in Occupied Palestinian Territory from March, following unreasonable demands to hand over personal information about staff, MSF has informed Israeli authorities that, as an exceptional measure, we are prepared to share a defined list of ...

🔴Denying medical assistance is unacceptable under any circumstances. Israel’s threat to withhold registration from INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organisations from providing services in Gaza and the West Bank. @Keir_Starmer @FCDOGovUK @YvetteCooperMP

Patients at Nasser Hospital in Gaza's Khan Younis are clinging to Doctors Without Borders as Israel moves to ban the organisation and dozens of other aid groups from operating in Gaza from March 1. Israel says 37 organisations failed to provide detailed information on Palestinian staff, a move widely condemned by humanitarian groups as collective punishment. Alongside MSF, organisations providing food distribution, clean water, sanitation, shelter, disability support, child protection and psychosocial care are also being forced out. Aid workers warn this will immediately deepen hunger, waterborne disease, untreated trauma and the collapse of emergency shelter, with children, the elderly, people with disabilities and the wounded among the hardest hit. Around 60 percent of Gaza’s field hospitals are run by NGOs, as well as over half of the delivery of food assistance in the territory. NGOs also run a large proportion (30 percent) of emergency education activities, water and sanitation measures services (42 percent) and shelter and non food item activities (nearly 70 percent). International observers say the expulsions are aimed at dismantling life saving services while removing independent witnesses and monitors. Critics warn the bans clear the way for further human rights violations as Israel continues its genocide against Palestinians by systematically attacking civilians, destroying healthcare, aid delivery and civilian survival systems.

"This is about the manipulation and the instrumentalization of humanitarian assistance." As Israel orders @MSF to stop operating in Gaza, its head @Chris_lockyear tells me they're seeing "a propaganda campaign against humanitarian organizations... putting our staff and our activities in acute danger."

Denying medical assistance is unacceptable under any circumstances. Israel’s threat to withhold registration from MSF & other INGOs is a cynical and calculated attempt to prevent organisations from providing services in Gaza and the West Bank, Palestine. msf.org/israels-threat…

Almost every hospital in Gaza has been damaged or destroyed, and disease is spreading rapidly. Share this thread and tag @HFalconerMP to let him know: The UK must not stop the lifeline of medical evacuations - lives depend on it.

🔴When questioned on medically evacuating people with critical healthcare needs from Gaza to the UK, @HFalconerMP stated that "medical assistance is most effective and timely in Gaza itself". But after two years of relentless violence, Gaza's health system has collapsed.

We hosted a Parliamentary drop in with @EleanorCrookFdn @UnitedAMH @savechildrenuk. To meaningfully address malnutrition, the UK must: Protect malnutrition funding; Ensure aid reaches the communities most in need; Integrate malnutrition across ODA spending. Lives depend on it.

We’re in Parliament for a drop-in session on maternal and childhood malnutrition in conflict zones, highlighting the scale of the challenge and the role the UK can play in ending malnutrition. Join us in Terrace Dining Room B from 2–4pm @EleanorCrookFdn @UnitedAMH @savechildrenuk
