Assisting the Gaza Strip: New Operational Measures Announced
Our sources report that a significant strategic move has been made by Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), facilitating crucial aid to reach the Gaza Strip. A mutual agreement with the U.S., Egypt, and the United Nations has led to the commencement of a new operation involving closing the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana border crossings between Israel and Egypt every Saturday.
Aid Distribution via Controlled Access Points
The new operational strategy is conceived with an objective to enable the United Nations to effectively distribute supplies within the Gaza part of Kerem Shalom and to aid in facilitating receptions at Rafah on the Egyptian side. The scheduling of strategic closures is devised so as to allow Israel to perform thorough inspections on all trucks carrying urgent aid for Gaza, which previously crossed these borders. By taking this step, it is ensured that possible transportation of weapons to Hamas is averted, simultaneously maintaining a balanced relationship between security and humanitarian aid.
Addressing Urgent Humanitarian Requirements
A report from COGAT on February 3 confirmed that four tankers of cooking gas had entered the Gaza Strip. This resource is of immense importance for keeping the core infrastructure of the area operational. This move stands as a testament to the continual efforts put forth to rapidly meet the severe humanitarian needs of Gaza.
Restoration of Vital Infrastructure
Our sources also revealed that the coordination to repair the much-damaged infrastructure in Gaza, a result of an Israeli offensive, has been successfully completed. Given that almost 60% of Gaza’s infrastructure is in a state of ruin or severely damaged, these restoration works bear significant importance. It marks a step forward toward enhancing living conditions and gradually reinstating normalcy in the region.
