(Times of Israel) COGAT, the Israel Defense Ministry body responsible for civilian affairs in the Palestinian territories, on Friday contested a recent UN-backed report that said famine was imminent in Gaza, saying "the report contains multiple factual and methodological flaws, some of them serious." It argued the report grossly underestimated the amount of water available per person per day (claiming over 20 liters versus the report's assessment of less than 1). COGAT said it has tracked reports in Palestinian media "every day" of "food markets filled with food of all types and kinds" in various parts of Gaza, including its north. "We outright reject any allegations according to which Israel is purposefully starving the civilian population in Gaza." "Even at the height of hostilities, in a war that was forced upon it, Israel places no limits on the amount of aid that can enter Gaza, and absolutely does not limit the entrance of food. Israel also facilitates entry of complementary products such as cooking gas and diesel fuel for the operation of aid centers, bakeries, etc. Additionally, 14 million liters of water are supplied by Israel." 2024-03-31 00:00:00Full Article
