Israel has decided to stop 37 aid groups from working in Gaza. These groups include big names like Oxfam and Médecins Sans Frontières. The reason? Israel says these groups didn't follow new rules to share their staff lists. But the aid groups say this could put their workers in danger and break EU laws. Many countries, like the UK, France, and Canada, are not happy with this decision. They say it will hurt people in Gaza who need help. One in three health places in Gaza might close if these groups can't work. The aid groups also say Israel's claims about them helping militant groups are not true.
Israel says the new rules are to stop aid from going to groups like Hamas. But the aid groups say sharing staff lists could put their workers at risk. The Israeli military says the aid groups are making a big deal out of nothing and that these groups don't do much for Gaza anyway. The situation in Gaza is still really bad. There's not enough shelter, the medical system is broken, and people don't have enough food. Even though more aid is coming in, it's not enough. Countries say Israel's rules are making it hard to get aid in. A ceasefire is in place, but both sides are still blaming each other for breaking it. The aid groups say if they can't work, hundreds of thousands of people won't get the medical help they need.
