A mobile bakery, operated by the World Central Kitchen NGO, in coordination with the IDF’s Coordinated Office of Government Activity in the Territories (COGAT), has begun operations in the Khan Younis area in southern Gaza, and “is producing over 3,000 loaves of bread per hour,” COGAT says in a statement.

It is not immediately clear what constitutes a “loaf.” A photo attached to the statement shows the mobile bakery producing what looks like pita bread.

The mobile bakery passed through the Kerem Shalom crossing on the Israel-Gaza border with Jordanian assistance, after a security inspection by the Ministry of Defense’s Land Crossings Authority, in coordination with COGAT, the statement adds.

“The IDF, through COGAT, will continue coordinating with international aid organizations to support and facilitate the transfer of humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Gaza, with a particular focus on food supply efforts,” it concludes.
