COGAT recaps 2025 aid efforts in Gaza, claiming it delivered over 1 million tons of food

Israel’s liaison to the Palestinians, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), publishes an end-of-year recap detailing what it says is Israel’s facilitation of humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip throughout 2025.

According to the year-end summary, the IDF, through COGAT, coordinated the entry of aid in cooperation with the United Nations, international humanitarian groups and donor countries, alongside the opening of additional crossings and routes to increase aid delivery volumes.

COGAT says that over the course of the year, more than one million tons of food entered Gaza, along with tens of thousands of tons of medical equipment, enabling hospitals to continue operating and allowing the establishment of additional field hospitals. The military body also says that more than 1.2 million family tents and tarpaulins were brought into the Strip, including ahead of the winter season, as well as fuel and gas to operate essential humanitarian systems, coordinated with the international community.

The recap comes as World Food Programme officials say food security in Gaza has improved since a ceasefire came into force two months ago, even as other humanitarian needs remain acute.

Speaking to The Times of Israel earlier this month, WFP deputy executive director Carl Skau said the food situation had stabilized but warned that progress in other sectors has lagged, citing continued Israeli restrictions on dual-use items – which Israel says could be diverted by Hamas – contributing to shortages of shelter materials as winter peaks.
