Jerusalem, 17 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 made by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) that Israel is not allowing enough aid into Gaza.
Saying they “regret that OCHA chooses time and again, to repeat false narratives,” COGAT said. “There is a clear gap between its public statements and what OCHA’s own people sitting with us daily at the CMCC Civil Military Coordination Center) know.”
COGAT listed the following facts:
600–800 aid trucks enter Gaza every day, around 70% carrying food.
There is no blockage of food entry, there was never a denial on a food truck submitted by a registered organization.
Protein and full other nutrients are entering Gaza.
The caloric value of the aid entering is high and more than sufficient.
Far more aid is entering than Gaza requires, and not only via the UN.
UN aid is prioritized at the crossings and in coordination.
“OCHA is once again quoting unknown actors, laundering information without corroboration,” alleged COGAT adding that “OCHA prefer spreading falsehoods rather than admitting to distribution failures and internal logistics constraints.”
