The Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) reports that 50,000 residents of Gaza have left the Strip since the start of the war. The figure, based on COGAT data, reflects departures via the Rafah crossing and other routes.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) reported Tuesday that 50,000 Gaza residents have left the Strip since the beginning of the war. The figure, based on data compiled by the defense body, reflects departures via the Rafah crossing with Egypt and other unspecified routes. No further breakdown — by time period, destination, or individual demographics — was provided in the initial release. The announcement comes as the war in Gaza continues, with no ceasefire or hostage-release deal currently in place. As The Zioneer previously noted, the Rafah crossing has been opened intermittently for foreign nationals and dual citizens, but COGAT did not specify how many of the 50,000 left via that crossing. The claim is attributed to a single source (COGAT), which is an official Israeli government body, making it credible but lacking independent corroboration at this time.
