The Israeli government agency responsible for coordinating aid into Gaza, COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories), has reported the successful delivery of food aid through a new crossing in the northern region of Gaza. This development comes as part of ongoing efforts to provide essential humanitarian assistance to the people in Gaza.
According to COGAT, a total of 102 food aid trucks entered northern Gaza via the newly established northern crossing. This follows a previous announcement that 316 aid trucks, including 65 food aid trucks, had been inspected and transferred to Gaza, with a significant portion allocated to the northern area.
Earlier this month, the Israeli government approved the temporary opening of the Erez crossing into northern Gaza specifically for the delivery of humanitarian aid. While the exact location of the new northern crossing has not been disclosed by the Israel Defense Forces, the focus remains on expanding efforts to facilitate the smooth flow of humanitarian aid into and across Gaza.
COGAT reiterated its commitment to continuing these vital aid operations, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that essential supplies reach those in need in Gaza. The agency's dedication to coordinating the delivery of food aid underscores the ongoing humanitarian efforts being made to alleviate the challenges faced by the population in Gaza.
