On February 28, 2026, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least seven Palestinians, adding to a staggering toll of over 600 fatalities since a ceasefire was brokered last October. The attacks targeted police checkpoints in Khan Yunis and the Abu Hujair area, with health officials reporting critical injuries among the wounded. This escalation comes amidst a backdrop of a recent ruling from Israel's Supreme Court, which temporarily froze a government ban on 37 foreign NGOs operating in Gaza and the West Bank, allowing them to continue their work pending a final decision. Athena Rayburn, director of AIDA, remarked, "We are still waiting to see how the injunction will be interpreted by the state and whether or not this will mean an increase in our ability to operate," highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the court's decision (Dawn, February 28, 2026).
