With demands from abroad for more aid for residents of Gaza growing louder by the day, an Israeli government agency released a report Sunday disputing warnings from the United Nations and others that a famine is imminent in the war-torn strip.

The director of Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, Major General Ghassan Alian, said the UN’s reports are based on faulty methodology, mistaken data, and reliance on unreliable sources such as the Hamas terrorists who started the war and continue to cling to power in the strip. More trucks laden humanitarian aid are entering Gaza now than were entering before the war began on October 7, the report says, and the number of truckloads of food entering the strip has increased by 80 percent compared to the pre-war period.
