One of the humanitarian aid organisations affected by an Israeli ban from operating in Gaza and the West Bank says it is trying to negotiate with Israeli authorities to revoke the measure. Israel says the licences of the NGOs were removed after they refused to share full details of their staff. But Elsa Softic, deputy chief operations officer at Première Urgence Internationale, says her organisation has "serious concerns" about the new rules.
"We also have to comply with our own regulations; we are not supposed to share any data or information about any staff anywhere in the world," she told us in Perspective.
Humanitarian conditions in the West Bank and Gaza remain dire, with the need for better healthcare and shelter.
