COGAT, the Israeli body which coordinates activity in Gaza and the West Bank, says that over the past week close to 1,900 trucks of aid “were collected and distributed” from the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom and Zikim Crossings.
More than 1,310 trucks of aid, mostly carrying food, crossed into Gaza this week, says the body, which operates as part of the Defense Ministry.
“We will continue facilitating humanitarian aid into Gaza for the civilian population — not Hamas,” the organization adds.

Israel has accused aid agencies of not picking up aid that has sat waiting inside Gaza, while the agencies have blamed Israel for not allowing safe passage.
The United Nations estimates that between 500 and 600 truckloads of aid a day are needed to meet the needs of Gaza’s more than two million inhabitants. Many trucks are looted by Gazans before reaching their destinations.
