23,000 tons of aid entered Gaza via truck over past week, says COGAT [IsraelTimes] COGAT, the Israeli agency which coordinates activity in the West Bank and Gaza, says that 23,000 tons of humanitarian aid on 1,200 trucks entered Gaza over the past week, and that 1,200 trucks were “successfully collected by the UN and international organizations.” Nevertheless, it adds, “hundreds of trucks remain inside Gaza, waiting to be picked up and distributed by the UN and international organizations.” This aid is separate from the “hundreds of pallets of humanitarian supplies” that have been airdropped into Gaza recently, it adds. Aid agencies have blamed Israel for cutting off aid and restricting movement, causing near-famine conditions in the Strip. Israel has pointed to supplies piling up inside Gaza and blamed agencies for not distributing it, as international pressure over hunger in Gaza has ratcheted up. Last week Israel announced 10-hour humanitarian pauses in fighting in populated areas and increased movement of aid. IDF: 136 packages of food airdropped into Gaza by UAE, Jordan, Egypt, France, Germany, Belgium [IsraelTimes] The IDF says 136 packages of food aid were airdropped into northern and southern Gaza as part of coordinated efforts by six countries. The military says that the UAE, Jordan, Egypt, France, Germany and Belgium coordinated with Israel on providing and delivering the aid. Belgium’s defense ministry confirms that it took part in today’s aid airdrops for the first time, in cooperation with Jordan. Each aid package contains approximately one ton of food. |

| #1 Israel is really doing a lousy job of genocide, allowing all this aid into Gaza. It's almost as if they AREN'T committing genocide. |
