Israel demands aid groups share staff details
Israel is asking aid groups to give them information about their workers in Gaza.
The aid groups don't want to do this because they think it could put their workers in danger.
They also want to know why Israel needs this information and how it will be used.
If the aid groups don't give the information, Israel might not let them work in Israel anymore, which would make it harder for them to help people in Gaza.
Israel is demanding aid groups hand over details about their staff working in Gaza.
Dozens of aid groups, including large international ones, have declined to comply.
Aid groups argue that sharing the data could put their workers at risk.
Israel hasn't provided assurances that the data won't be misused.
Refusal to comply could limit aid groups' access to Gaza.
