Aid into Gaza: as much information as possible,
from as many sources as possible,
as quickly as possible
This is a website, maintained at the Israeli Embassy in London, which aims to give as much information as possible on all the international aid being sent into Gaza.
We’ll post updates from Israel’s COGAT (Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories) office, OCHA, UNRWA, USAID, ICRC (International Red Cross Red Crescent) and WHO information, as well as individual and group actions from the grassroots ,like the Free Gaza Movement.
We also hope to have guest columns from Palestinian, Israeli and third party commentators discussing the situation and how effective the transmission of aid really is.
This is not a political site. It is merely a space for distribution of information and impartial facts, and we will host informed information and insights from all sides. If you would like to contribute information on a shipment, or guest-write a column for us, please post a comment on this site and we will be in touch as soon as possible.

BBC and Middle East News are reporting that Israel has authorised either 40 or 70 lorries into Gaza today. More news as we find out.
Journalists were also allowed into Gaza last Thursday along with the aid; presumably Israel’s feeling, following their statement earlier today, is that if it’s safe enough to send in aid it’s safe enough to allow in journalists.
