UK Aid Charities Told to Provide Details of Payments Made in Gaza
(Civil Society-UK) The UK Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) has asked some British aid charities to supply details of all payments made in Gaza since 2021, by April 28, 2023. The OFSI letter said charities must include the name of the organizations or people who received the payments, a summary of why the payments were made and any relevant supporting documents such as receipts or invoices. The letter noted that Hamas is a proscribed terrorist organization in the UK and that current legislation prohibits a person "from making... any payments to a designated organization or entities owned or controlled by it, or to entities independent of that organization but where payments will be for its benefit."
