In preparation for the winter season, Israeli authorities, in coordination with international organizations, have delivered over 91,000 tents and more than 8,200 trucks of supplies, including tarpaulins, blankets, and winter clothing, to the Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) are leading a large-scale plan to ready Gaza for winter.
Beyond providing temporary shelter, Israel is facilitating the restoration of critical infrastructure. This includes the delivery of sewage trucks for the International Committee of the Red Cross and the approval of thousands of vaccine doses for UNICEF, mobile medical clinics, medications, and fuel for local hospitals. Over 850 requests for essential goods for the civilian population have been approved.
Despite these efforts, UN and international organizations acknowledge logistical and budgetary challenges that have delayed the actual entry of about half of the approved shipments. Israeli officials emphasize that Hamas continues to exploit humanitarian facilities and resources for terrorist purposes, refusing to disarm.
To mitigate the risk of aid being used by militants to rebuild their capabilities, specialists are conducting thorough inspections of equipment. The IDF and COGAT have stated their commitment to continuing humanitarian support for Gaza's civilians throughout the winter while simultaneously implementing security measures against terrorist threats.
