Israel bars 37 aid organisations from Gaza

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Israel is revoking the licences of 37 aid organisations working in Gaza, saying they failed to meet the requirements of new registration rules. The UK government is among those warning of the humanitarian impact the move could have. One resident of Gaza tells us of her fears. Also on the programme: With drones increasingly lighting up the skies at New Year’s celebrations, we hear a defence of the old-fashioned firework. And looking back as punk turns 50.
