Genocidal regime moves to prevent attempts to save the lives of its victimsImage: ICJPIsrael has banned six medical aid groups from entering Gaza, where they have been treating sick and injured Palestinians and to distribute vital medical supplies. The six medical humanitarian groups, whose emergency medical missions in Gaza have treated over 15,000 patients since October last year have been told that they will no longer be allowed into the besieged territory. COGAT did not provide any information on its claimed reasons for ordering a halt to life-saving medical missions. These organisations have, collectively, sent hundreds of medical delegates to provide life-saving aid to sick and injured Palestinians in Gaza over the past twelve months. There are currently heightened concerns regarding medical aid provisions, due to Israel’s reported ‘General’s plan’, which is designed to implement siege tactics to restrict aid reaching Palestinians in northern Gaza.
