As Israel cracks down on international aid groups supporting Palestinians after decimating Gaza’s healthcare system, eight NGOs have told Al Jazeera they will defy an order to provide information about their colleagues in the strip and the rest of occupied Palestinian territory.

Action Aid, Alianza por la Solidaridad, Medecins du Monde, Medicos Del Mundo, Premiere Urgence Internationale, American Friends Service Committee, Medico International and Medical Aid For Palestinians have joined Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, in refusing to comply with Israel’s requirements for registration.
