COGAT, the Defense Ministry body responsible for overseeing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, says that 1,200 units of blood were delivered to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis via the Kerem Shalom Crossing yesterday.

It says that the blood, along with 3,000 units of plasma, was delivered “to support ongoing treatments and maintain essential operations at the hospital.”

The operation was carried out in coordination with international organizations, COGAT states, and the transfer underwent “stringent security inspections.”

“The IDF, through COGAT, will continue to act in accordance with international law to provide humanitarian assistance to the residents of the Gaza Strip, especially as it pertains to medical care,” it adds.
