Israel threatens to ban major aid organisations, as starvation in Gaza deepens
Most major international non-profit organisations have been unable to deliver a single truck of lifesaving supplies since 2 March, despite claims by Israeli authorities that there is no limit on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, a joint press release from more than 100 NGOs said on Thursday. Israeli authorities are said to have rejected requests from dozens of NGOs to bring in lifesaving goods, citing that these organisations are 'not authorized to deliver aid", instead of clearing the increasing backlog of goods. The statement said that more than 60 requests were denied under this justification in July alone, and the obstruction has left millions of dollars' worth of food, medicine, water, and shelter items stranded in warehouses across Jordan and Egypt, while Palestinians are being starved. 'Anera has over $7 million worth of lifesaving supplies ready to enter Gaza - including 744 tons of rice, enough for six million meals, blocked in Ashdod just kilometers away,' said Sean Carroll, president and CEO of Anera. Many of the NGOs that are now told they are not 'authorized' to deliver aid have worked in Gaza for decades, are trusted by communities, and are experienced in delivering aid safely. Their exclusion has left hospitals without basic supplies, children, people with disabilities, and older people dying from hunger and preventable illnesses, and aid workers themselves going to work hungry.

US report on Israeli human rights violations 94 pages shorter than last year
The US's annual report on Israeli human rights abuses comes in at only nine pages, 94 pages shorter than the report on the same topic last year, The Intercept reported on Wednesday. Josh Paul, the former director of congressional and public affairs at the State Department bureau who resigned in 2023 over US military assistance to Israel in the war on Gaza, told The Intercept, 'Its coverage of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza appears to have been written by someone who has been blindfolded, earmuffed, had a sock stuffed in their mouth, and then censored.' The report was one of 200 human rights reports that the State Department released on Tuesday. Paul said the report could be summarised "in just a few more words than it appears to be written in: few truths, many half truths, and nothing like the truth'. The congressionally mandated human rights reports normally guide US policy decisions on diplomacy. The report on Israel does not mention the ongoing genocide case against Israel at the International Criminal Court.
