Israel, in coordination with the Peace Council and the United Nations, approved the sending of additional humanitarian aid to the area, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced.
"Despite the refusal of the extremist Hamas movement to fulfill its commitments to disarm in the Palestinian enclave, Israel has approved the entry of additional humanitarian supplies into Gaza to alleviate the situation of its residents during the winter," the statement said.
Tel Aviv stated that the plan to prepare the residents of Gaza for winter includes approval for the delivery of 91,000 tents, 8,200 trucks loaded with tarpaulins, blankets and winter clothing, as well as 12 tank trucks for pumping and removing sewage.
