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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
