Israel-Gaza War, Humanitarian Aid

COGAT Launches User-Friendly Site Showing How Israel Aids Gazan Civilians

The move comes in an effort to provide an easy to use source of information on the humanitarian situation in Gaza from an official Israeli perspective, as opposed to others which are more critical.

Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) Unit unveiled a new website today (Wednesday) in English and Arabic, detailing Israel's humanitarian efforts and the humanitarian situation in Gaza in general from the Israeli perspective.

The website is a very easy to use affair, complete with large text, tabs that work quickly, and easy to understand graphics, videos, and documents.

It shows the amount and type of humanitarian aid Israel allows into Gaza, efforts to coordinate with humanitarian agencies, tactical pauses and humanitarian corridors for civilians, and statistical overviews of supplies available in Gaza based on Israeli information. There is even an option to donate humanitarian aid to Gazan residents via the website.

The website comes after Israel has been subject to weeks of criticism from humanitarian NGOs and UN agencies over its conduct of the war in Gaza, criticism which many in Israel have argued is unfair, inaccurate, or lacking in context.

The site clearly comes as a counterbalancing effort, and journalists were specifically invited to peruse it and use it as they see fit.
