Israel Provided Gaza with Triple the Food It Needed during Ceasefire
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - During the ceasefire in Gaza, from October 2025 through June 2026, aid deliveries significantly exceeded needs identified by the UN, according to a new report published Thursday by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli Defense Department body responsible for civilian affairs in the Palestinian territories. About 1.78 million tons of food entered Gaza between the start of the ceasefire and June 7, roughly three times the requirements defined by the World Food Program. Gaza receives more than 70,000 cubic meters of water a day through pipelines, desalination facilities and other infrastructure, exceeding international humanitarian standards. COGAT also said Gaza's health care system remains operational, with 18,000 tons of medicines and medical supplies entering the territory since the ceasefire. Hospital bed capacity has increased by 55%.
