Jerusalem, 21 May, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Israeli agency COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories: Judea and Samaria and towards the Gaza Strip) reported that 600 aid trucks enter Gaza every day, with 70-80% of that cargo dedicated entirely to food. To date, over 1.6 million tons of food have been transferred, with zero restrictions on volume or variety.

“Claims of systematic food shortages are simply disconnected from operational reality. The pipeline is open, active, and delivering daily at scale,” said COGAT.
