Israeli Agency Dismisses Latest UN Claims of Gaza Starvation as Politically Motivated
COGAT refutes UN claims of Gaza starvation, calling them politically motivated. Israel highlights daily food truck influx and improved IPC data, challenging.
Jerusalem, 25 January, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israeli organization COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip) refuted claims made by the UN that people are starving in Gaza.
“The UN recycling false narratives for political and financial reasons once again,” said COGAT, which also pointed to the latest IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report, which was based on partial data, that showed an improvement in the situation in the Gaza Strip.
“So how exactly do you explain claims of “80% of people facing hunger” when 600–800 trucks loaded mostly with food enter Gaza every day?” asked the Agency.
“At some point, messaging has to match reality,” it added. “We suggest checking the facts on the ground with your own representatives at the CMCC who see a totally different situation, before recycling disproven claims.”
Earlier, the UN stated without evidence that “Living conditions in Gaza remain dire, with nearly 80% of people facing hunger and dependent on humanitarian aid for survival.”
