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.

Amongst other statements on Gaza available on its UNRWA website, the UN has issued a statement from Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. Included within it is a statement of the UN’s aid priorities:
We are in close contact with the Israeli authorities to press them to open not only the Kerem Shalom crossing, but also Karni and Nahal Oz, to allow in, particularly, wheat grain and fuel for the power plant, as well as other essential supplies.
