Several medical non-governmental organizations are facing challenges as Israeli authorities have barred their entry to Gaza. The World Health Organization recently accused Israel of blocking multiple medical organizations from accessing Gaza during the ongoing conflict. This marks the first time entire health agencies have been denied access to the enclave. However, COGAT, the Israeli agency responsible for coordinating aid delivery to Gaza, has refuted these accusations.
At least seven medical NGOs, including US-based FAJR Scientific, have been informed that they are no longer permitted to enter Gaza. The CEO of FAJR Scientific, Mosab Nasser, expressed concern over the situation, highlighting the potential impact on the local population. Nasser emphasized that their organization specializes in complex surgeries, which are crucial given the high number of blast injuries in Gaza, particularly affecting women and children.
