COGAT, the Israeli agency responsible for coordinating the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza, has refuted claims that it is obstructing the entry of medical specialists into the region. The World Health Organization (WHO) had previously reported that over 50 medical personnel were prevented from entering Gaza between August and October.
In response to these allegations, COGAT stated that Israel does not impose restrictions on the number of humanitarian teams entering Gaza, provided that necessary security measures are adhered to. The agency highlighted the efforts made to facilitate the entry of medical teams, including the temporary adjustment of the Kerem Shalom Crossing, the primary entry point for aid into southern Gaza.
