00:00Let me start by asking you about something that's been in the news the last 10 days or so.
00:04Israel has ordered dozens of international NGOs to shut down.
00:09And I know that the NGOs under your umbrella are domestic Palestinian ones.
00:14But what is that going to mean for you?
00:17And what is this order going to mean for ordinary people who rely on aid?
00:22Thank you. Just to remind that Israel banned Onurwa, the backbone of the humanitarian structure in the Palestinian territory, mailing Gaza Strip since March 2025.
00:41That no aid for Onurwa, no international staff of Onurwa could get in Gaza, which has also severe implications of the situation.
00:49Today we are commemorating three months of the ceasefire and still the humanitarian condition is very critical.
00:58And such decision taken by the Israeli occupation to ban tens of international NGOs who worked in Gaza for tens of years, mainly in the last two years of the Israeli war in Gaza.
01:13And they are, you know, very vocal and they are engaged in the humanitarian operations on the health sector.
01:23They are running tens of field hospitals, clinics, and they are working to receive thousands of patients, injured people.
01:35And at the same time that they are working also in many nutrition centers on water, sanitation, and different humanitarian sectors.
01:46Any banning of this work of restriction of this work of these organizations will have severe impact on the humanitarian conditions in Gaza, which mean more deterioration.
02:00And at the same time, these kind of civil protection monitors of the humanitarian and human rights situation in Gaza, they will be banned and denied to enter Gaza.
02:11Already on last Tuesday, Israel denied the entry of number of these aid workers, international aid workers, working with this organization to the Gaza Strip, which means that they cannot observe the situation.
02:25They cannot issue reports about the humanitarian situation in Gaza, so Israel is trying to silence these organizations inside and the other side to deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza Strip.
