Israel's top court blocks government ban on aid groups working in Gaza

Israel's Supreme Court issued a temporary order preventing the government from banning several international aid organizations from operating in Gaza. The court's decision allows groups like Doctors Without Borders (MSF) to continue their work for now, while it considers legal challenges against the proposed ban.

A United Nations report states that Gaza remains in a catastrophic humanitarian situation, with Israel denying or impeding nearly half of coordinated aid missions despite a ceasefire. Other headlines describe difficulties for Palestinians at the Rafah border crossing with Egypt and reports of Israeli forces firing hundreds of bullets at a medical convoy in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders announced it is reducing operations at one major Gaza hospital, citing the presence of armed men at the facility as a security risk to patients and staff.
