What OCHA left out: COGAT says over 91,000 tents have been brought in since the start of the Winterization Plan

On 8 November 2026, OCHA said that over 150,000 tents purchased by humanitarian partners and Member States “are outside Gaza ready to be dispatched.” OCHA said this includes about 117,000 tents from the Egyptian Relief Committee alone in Al-Arish, and referred to humanitarian funding and Israeli approval. According to COGAT, since the start of the Winterization Plan, over 91,000 tents have been brought in.

COGAT said that following the weekend's rainfall in the Gaza Strip, it continues to monitor the humanitarian situation on the ground and conduct situation assessments in collaboration with the UN and international organizations, coordinating a response based on the needs of the population. COGAT said the Gaza Winterization Plan includes coordinating equipment entering the Gaza Strip to improve projects in shelter, water, sanitation, and health.

COGAT said that over 8,200 trucks containing tarpaulins, blankets, winter clothing, and additional equipment have been brought in. What OCHA left out about the same subject is that COGAT account: since the start of the Winterization Plan, over 91,000 tents have been brought in.
