The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) says that 70 humanitarian aid trucks, primarily containing food, were transferred to the Gaza Strip yesterday.
Some of the trucks were transferred to southern Gaza via the Kerem Shalom Crossing and others to the northern part of the Strip through the Zikim Crossing.
The aid was delivered following thorough security inspections, COGAT says.
COGAT tells The Times of Israel that contrary to criticism from the UN and other aid organizations, there has been no pause in delivering aid to the Strip in recent days, and that deliveries have continued, “albeit at reduced effectiveness.”
Humanitarian organizations have voiced growing concerns in recent days about food shortages within Gaza, citing their inability to collect aid trucks from the border.
COGAT says that it has already coordinated the collection of more than 150 trucks on the Gazan side of the Kerem Shalom and Zikim crossings, but that over 800 trucks are still awaiting pickup at the crossings.

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.
