LISTEN | Full interview with Norwegian Refugee Council's Shaina Low: As It Happens 6:27 Israel will ban dozens of aid groups from Gaza in the new yearShaina Low had hoped to see truckloads of aid flowing into Gaza in 2026. Israel says the rules are aimed at preventing Hamas and other militant groups from infiltrating the aid organizations. And not only are they a party to the conflict, but they've killed hundreds of aid workers in Gaza,” she said. The decision not to renew aid groups' licenses means offices in Israel and East Jerusalem will close, and organizations won't be able to send international staff or aid into Gaza. But several of the groups, including NCR, said they will continue to operate programs inside Gaza with local staff.
