COGAT Delivers 91,000 Tents and Vital Supplies Under Gaza Winterization Plan
Israel has delivered over 91,000 tents and critical winter supplies to Gaza. COGAT monitors humanitarian needs as aid efforts continue.
POLICY WIRE — Gaza Strip — Following a period of heavy rainfall across the Gaza Strip, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced it is actively monitoring the ground situation. The agency confirmed it is working closely with the United Nations and various international organizations to address the evolving needs of the local population.
As part of a dedicated winterization initiative, Israel has facilitated the entry of essential equipment designed to bolster shelter, sanitation, and healthcare infrastructure. Since the program began, no more than 91,000 tents and over 8,200 trucks loaded with blankets, winter clothing, and other gear have entered the territory, according to COGAT.
Additional aid has been brought in to support medical and sanitation services. This includes 12 vacuum trucks for waste management, thousands of vaccine doses, and fuel required to operate pumping facilities and other humanitarian installations.
However, COGAT emphasized that large-scale reconstruction efforts cannot commence until Hamas fully disarms. The agency stated, Israel will not permit the entry of equipment that could be used to develop terrorist capabilities.
COGAT further noted that the Hamas refusal to disarm and the utilization of civilian equipment for military purposes are obstructing efforts to improve living conditions for the civilian population.
