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.

UNRWA (via Reliefweb) and BBC (quoting an unnamed Israeli source) provide some details of yesterday’s convoy:
* Of the 40 trucks allowed through, 6 were from Jordan
* 10 further trucks carrying oil and tinned meat were refused entry
* Fuel for the power station was transferred
* Journalists were also allowed into Gaza
UNRWA has pointed out that it requires 15 dedicated trucks of aid daily to continue its work, and has only received 37 in the past month.
More as we get it.
