Israel will ban Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from working in Gaza for refusing to provide a staff list.
Israel claims some MSF staff have links to Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which MSF denies.
MSF refused to share staff lists without safety assurances for its employees.
Israel is revoking licenses of 37 NGOs in Gaza and the West Bank for failing new registration rules.
The move was criticized by 10 countries, including the UK and France, for harming essential services.
MSF provides 20% of hospital beds in Gaza and conducted over 800,000 medical consultations last year.
Over 1,700 healthcare workers, including 15 MSF staff, have been killed in the war.
The conflict began after Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack, leading to over 71,660 deaths in Gaza.
