Oxfam official says Israel blocking Gaza aid regardless of rules Oxfam’s policy lead in the occupied Palestinian territory, Bushra Khalidi, on Wednesday said that the new Israeli requirements will prevent NGOs from operating in Israel but should not prevent them from operating inside Gaza and the West Bank, Al Jazeera reported. Khalidi said that the organisations are still registered under the Palestinian Authority and must be allowed to work in Palestine. “Israel continues to block us whether we’re registered or not and has continued to deliberately obstruct humanitarian aid regardless of these rules,” Khalidi said. “It does impact what we can bring into Gaza, but we’ve been blocked anyway from entering materials into Gaza since March,” she added.
