Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has condemned Israel’s ban on Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from Gaza.

The ban is part of Israel’s effort to crackdown on NGOs and aid organisations in Palestine.

“Israel has NO authority to block anyone from entering the Palestinian territory it illegally occupies,” Albanese wrote on X.

“Stop normalising the illegal occupation by bending to its diktats. Respect the ICJ deliberation: force Israel to end the occupation. Time for justice is NOW.”
