The 'Save the Children' organization attacked Israel following its refusal to register it in the international organizations registration mechanism at the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, claiming that "Israeli requirements harm the organization" - which it describes as "the third largest humanitarian emergency organization in the Gaza Strip providing support to 1.6 million residents in the Gaza Strip." The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) responded that "the organization was indeed rejected. The registration process exists to prevent Hamas from exploiting aid to promote terrorism. In reality, there is a large gap between the dramatic declaration and its actual contribution. Its role amounts to less than 240 aid trucks, 0.14% of all aid that entered."
