On 9 October, OFSI amended its General Licence INT/2023/3749168 – Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Lebanon Humanitarian Activity by adding Lebanon to the territories where humanitarian activities are provided (previously those only included Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories).
The definition of the UK Funded Person has also been amended and now includes “any person that receives funding from any part of the Government of the United Kingdom for the purpose of providing humanitarian assistance or supporting basic human needs”. Further, the reporting requirements under the licence have also been amended and the licence validity has been extended from 14 May 2025 to 14 November 2025.
