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.

$1m of aid – that’s a lot of food – is now en route to cross into Gaza, as agreed yesterday afternoon between ICRC and the Egyptian Government.
In a twist to the tale – it’s not coming through Rafah but through the Israel-Gaza crossing at Kerem Shalom – that lots of coordination right there. But in a mirror of the Israeli rule, Egypt won’t allow it to cross into Israel until terrorists stop firing rockets from Gaza at the convoy…
More soon.

Sounds like a step forward but as a Zionist I must state this is not enough to meet the needs of over a million people.
