The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has issued a statement in which it “strongly condemns” Israel’s move to issue new registration rules for relief agencies that could cut off life-saving assistance for hundreds of thousands in Gaza.

“Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem,” the ministry said, adding that the work of relief agencies is welcomed by Palestinians.
