The Israeli government has threatened to suspend the activities of certain aid organizations in the Gaza Strip starting January 1, 2026. On December 31, EU officials stated that this move would effectively cut off “life-saving” supplies to the local population. Hajia Rabib, the EU Commissioner for Emergency Preparedness, Crisis Management, and Equality, posted on social media on December 31: “The EU has made it clear that the NGO registration law cannot be implemented in its current form, and all barriers to humanitarian aid access must be removed. International humanitarian law is non-negotiable; aid must reach those in need.”
