WATCH: Gaza Restaurants and Grocery Stores BRIMMING With Food, COGAT Video Shows
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) pushed back Friday against Hamas propaganda that Israel Israel is obstructing food aid into Gaza, releasing a video showing restaurants and grocery stores overflowing with food.
“Despite Hamas’s ongoing attempts to spread false narratives about alleged shortages in the Gaza Strip, particularly following protests by private-sector merchants against Hamas, the facts on the ground tell a different story: Gaza is flooded with humanitarian aid and food supplies,” COGAT said in a statement.
“Since the October 2025 ceasefire, over 2.2 million tons of food have entered Gaza,” the organization added. This means Israel facilitated the entry of about one ton of food into Gaza per person in just one year, which is about five pounds of food per person per day.
COGAT also said that about 600 trucks enter Gaza daily, 70 to 80 percent of them carrying food. That amounts to 420 to 480 food trucks a day, which is hundreds more food trucks per day than prewar levels, when about 70 food trucks entered Gaza per day.
The government organization cited other evidence of food abundance, such as the 83-percent drop in food prices, the operation of 41 bakeries and 100 kitchens, and the production of 3 million pitas a day. COGAT said that there is so much food that in fact many boxes remain uncollected.
“Despite Hamas’s attempts to falsely portray Israel as obstructing the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, COGAT will continue facilitating its entry, ensuring a steady flow of food and essential supplies,” COGAT vowed.
