The IDF's Office for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories or COGAT issued a response to the IPC's report of potential "famine" in the Gaza Strip by the end of May, stating that the report suffers from numerous fundamental flaws.

COGAT has also repeatedly stated that the problems that do exist with Gazan civilians not receiving aid have to do with distribution of aid by UN agencies and other NGOs, e.g.:
