Israel’s liaison to the Palestinians, COGAT, says that over the past three days it has facilitated the transfer of large quantities of humanitarian aid to several hospitals in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, COGAT says this includes 6,750 liters of fuel, 10,000 liters of water, dozens of food crates and nearly 300 boxes of medical supplies.

It says that on Monday, in collaboration with the World Health Organization, supplies were delivered to Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, including 291 boxes of medical equipment, along with food supplies, and that water supplies totaling 10,000 liters and food crates were transferred to the Indonesian Hospital.

And yesterday, also in collaboration with WHO, “6,750 liters of fuel were transferred to hospitals in the southern Gaza Strip — A-Nasser, Al-Aqsa, and the European Hospital — to sustain their critical operations.”

“The IDF, through COGAT, will continue to act in accordance with international law to allow and facilitate humanitarian assistance for the residents of the Gaza Strip, with a focus on medical support,” the statement says.
