Israel Agency Denies Weather Not to Blame for Gaza Aid Delays
Israel's COGAT denies deliberate restrictions are delaying Gaza aid, citing harsh weather as the cause and approving 310,000 tents and 100,000 pallets of winter.
Jerusalem, 16 December, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The Israeli Agency COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip) refuted claims being made that the recent problems in delivering aid to Gaza were not caused by the harsh weather with heavy rains that hit Israel, but were due to “deliberate restrictions” put in place by the Israeli government.
COGAT said that such claims are “inconsistent with facts on the ground, and the ongoing coordination taking place daily,” and pointed to the fact that close to 310,000 tents and tarpaulins entered Gaza lately and that close to 100,000 pallets of winter-related items and sanitation supplies were approved by COGAT, and that it is now waiting for immediate coordination for entry into Gaza by the international organizations.
“We will continue facilitating humanitarian aid and winter humanitarian responses together with our partners at the CMCC (Civil Military Coordination Center established in October 2025 as part of the Gaza peace agreement),” said COGAT.
