Displaced Palestinians in Gaza are sounding the alarm about Israel\u2019s looming ban<\/a> against dozens of international groups that provide life-saving assistance and services in the devastated territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siraj al-Masri, a Palestinian in Khan Younis, stressed on Wednesday that there is \u201cno alternative\u201d to the aid organisations helping besieged Palestinians in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere are we supposed to go? We have no income, no money,\u201d al-Masri told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly a few medical points<\/a> remain. This makes the situation extremely difficult and will lead to a catastrophe for the injured and the wounded. Even ordinary people who come seeking treatment will face severe hardship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel is moving to revoke the licences of 37 international NGOs, including Doctors Without Borders (known by its French initials MSF), as it pushes to demonise organisations that assist Palestinians, among them United Nations agencies, with unproven accusations of links to Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel said the ban, which starts on Thursday and also includes the Norwegian Refugee Council, CARE International, and the International Rescue Committee, among other groups, stems from new regulations that require aid organisations to reveal details about their staff and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven with the presence of humanitarian organisations, the situation is already tragic,\u201d Gaza resident Ramzi Abu al-Neel told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf their support and presence are removed, God knows what will happen. Many children will die, and lives will be destroyed, and many families will be devastated by this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
