COGAT update 6 December

7.12.08

COGAT published their weekly report today, which provides only minimal details of Thursday’s convoy, strangely.

Nevertheless, for completeness: Bad news: Sufa closed

Good news: Karni open for 32 truckloads Kerem Shalom open for 35 truckloads Nahal Oz open for 440,000 litres of power station fuel Egypt and Israel’s power supplies maintained

And in totals for this week, 41 aid workers entered Gaza and 63 left 250 patients and chaperones entered Israel for treatment 19 ‘humanitarian need’ cases entered Israel And briefly on Thursday, journalists were allowed to cross into Gaza. Israel has since closed the crossings to journalists again over fears for their safety under rocket attacks and continued fighting in Gaza.

That’s a total 67 trucks, approx 1732 tons of aid – significantly below average if that’s all this week. plus 440,000 litres of fuel – significantly below the power station’s needs for full operation.

What does next week bring?
