CPJ, over 100 Organizations Call on Israel to End Weaponization of Aid to Gaza - Committee to Protect Journalists
Twenty-four nations demand Israel end aid restrictions causing severe famine and call for safe access for UN and NGOs amid ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
- Since March 2, 2023, numerous leading international humanitarian organizations have been prevented from delivering any lifesaving aid into Gaza due to an Israeli-enforced blockade and newly implemented registration requirements.

- More than 100 humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam and MSF, called on Israel to end the 'weaponization of aid' amid worsening famine and tens of thousands of Palestinian deaths.
- Sean Carroll of ANERA stated over $7 million of supplies, including 744 tons of rice for six million meals, remain blocked just kilometers from Gaza in Ashdod.
- The ongoing restrictions have caused severe shortages in Gaza, risking NGO operations and causing starvation deaths, with warnings that impeding aid may constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
