Episode notes
Data Demands Raise Safety And Evidence Concerns
- Israel requires NGOs to register staff and family names and disclose funding and operations to avoid infiltration by militants.
- NGOs and critics say the demand risks staff safety and lacks publicly shared evidence of the threat.
NGO Fear Rooted In Worker Death Toll
- The Norwegian Refugee Council fears handing staff names to Israel because it is a party to the conflict and has killed aid workers.
- The UN reports at least 575 aid workers killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, underscoring that fear.
Capacity Claim Disputed By International Community
- Israel's defense body says other organizations can fill gaps, but international actors dispute that capacity claim.
- Canada and nine countries issued a joint statement calling attempts to limit NGOs unacceptable and warning needs can't be met without them.
