Israel’s COGAT military liaison to the Palestinians says that 227 trucks carrying humanitarian aid were inspected and transferred to the Gaza Strip today, with 111 going through Egypt’s Rafah Crossing and 116 entering via Israel’s Kerem Shalom.
“There is no limit to the amount of humanitarian aid that can be transferred to the people of Gaza,” COGAT tweets.
But Tania Hary, who heads the Israeli rights group Gisha, disputes the COGAT assertion.
“‘No limit,’ but after you limit the kinds of goods that go in, where they can go, who is allowed to ship them in and from where, while not engaging in real deconfliction with humanitarian actors distributing aid, does it really matter? In practice you are limiting the amount of aid,” she tweets.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
