US EditionOxfam-Québec surprised to find itself on list of NGOs set to be barred from Gaza
Israel suspended 37 NGOs including Doctors Without Borders for failing to provide staff data amid accusations of Hamas links; these groups supply just 1% of Gaza aid, officials said.
- On Dec. 31, 2025, Oxfam-Québec said it was surprised to be included on a list of 37 organisations Israel plans to bar from Gaza.
- Following new vetting rules, Israeli authorities have demanded staff details and are moving to suspend more than two dozen humanitarian organisations as of Jan. 1 amid alleged `links` to Hamas.
- Citing registration records, Oxfam-Québec noted its registration dates before 2020 and is inactive, with affiliates now legally represented under Oxfam Novib, which is also on the suspension list, and it is pursuing discussions with Israeli authorities to continue humanitarian activities.
- The United Nations and the European Union criticised the ban, warning it will worsen Gaza's catastrophic situation, while Canada and other countries urged Israel Tuesday to boost humanitarian aid and NGO access.
- The government has pressed ahead with a ban on 37 aid organisations, including Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders, as it enforces new vetting rules starting Jan. 1.
