Oxfam report from the first two weeks of the October 2025 ceasefire, documenting arbitrary Israeli rejection of life-saving aid shipments despite the ceasefire agreement and a new restrictive international NGO (INGO) registration process. Between October 1-21, 2025, 17 INGOs had urgent shipments denied entry into Gaza, with 94% of all rejections given to INGOs. Three-quarters of denials were issued on the grounds that organizations are 'not authorized' to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza. 41 organizations operating in Gaza called on Israel to uphold its ceasefire commitments. Recommended for researchers studying the immediate humanitarian response to the ceasefire and the pattern of Israeli obstruction of NGO operations from the first days of the agreement, documenting the gap between ceasefire aid commitments and the reality on the ground.
