COGAT: Humanitarian effort to Gaza continues

Humanitarian effort to Gaza continues
(Communicated by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories
Spokesman) 9 February, 2009

Kerem Shalom, Karni, Nahal Oz and Erez crossings operated yesterday (Sunday)
enabling humanitarian movements and transfer of humanitarian goods in to
Gaza. Throughout the day, a total of 142 trucks with 3783 tons of supplies
at the request of The World Food Programme, the World Health Organizsation,
and Care. Also, goods for the private and public sectors that included
communications equipment (for the cellular companies) meat and dairy
products, canned food, oil, diapers, reproductive eggs, powdered milk flour,
sugar and rice. Also, 792,000 liters of heavy duty diesel for the Gaza power
station were transferred via the Nahal Oz fuel depot. Karni conveyor
operated and transferred 1848 tons of different types of grain.

Due to two different incidents of organized theft of humanitarian aid by
Hamas terrorists, UNRWA has still not resumed shipping of aid in to Gaza.

Today (Monday), approximately 200 trucks are scheduled to ship goods in to
Gaza via Kerem Shalom and Karni. Also, the Nahal Oz fuel depot is expected
to operate for pumping of fuel.

In the ongoing humanitarian effort, since the unilateral cease fire
(18/1/2009), 77,184 tons of aid and 5,569,908 liters of fuel for the Gaza
power station have been delivered to the Gaza Strip.
