IOM is utilizing its extensive logistics networks to transport essential aid into Gaza. Once there, this aid is distributed to those in need through partnerships with UN agencies, INGOs and local NGOs. The supplies are sourced through a variety of channels, including bilateral partnerships, in-kind donations and IOM’s Common Pipeline Programme, which is a resource available to other aid organizations. During the reporting period, 139k essential aid items were dispatched to or arrived in Gaza.
