New Israeli Data Requirements Block Gaza Aid and Bar NGOs at Rafah

New Israeli rules and security vetting revoked permits of 10 NGOs, blocking aid shipments and leaving thousands without food and medicine, with over 60 requests denied in July alone.

  • On August 13, 2025, Israel turned back boxes of Gaza-bound aid at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
  • This occurred amid new Israeli laws from March requiring NGOs to register and allowing authorities to reject groups seen as denying Israel's democratic character or supporting boycott campaigns.
  • More than 100 aid organizations, including Oxfam and MSF, have condemned Israel's obstruction of aid delivery, citing at least 60 rejected aid requests in July alone and stalled supplies in warehouses in Egypt and Jordan.
  • Israel’s COGAT reported transferring about 300 mostly food trucks daily in recent weeks, while Gaza's media said only 1,334 trucks entered since July 27, far short of the 9,000 trucks needed as per US estimates.
  • The aid blockage amid Israel’s Gaza City military operation has caused growing humanitarian crises, including shortages of basic supplies and deaths from hunger and preventable illness.
