Doctors Without Borders Withdraws International Staff From Gaza After Visa Dispute

Doctors Without Borders said it is withdrawing its international staff from Gaza after Israel declined to renew visas for its employees. Israel’s Ministry of Defense body COGAT said the organization refused to submit a required list of local employees for security screening, stating the measure is intended to prevent individuals affiliated with terrorist groups from operating under humanitarian cover. DWB said it will continue operating in Gaza with locally hired staff.
