International donors pledge over $2 billion for Gaza at Kuwait conference
Kuwait City — A conference of international donors in Kuwait pledges over $2 billion in aid for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over seven months into the war between Israel and Hamas.
Organized by the International Islamic Charitable Organization (IICO) and the UN’s humanitarian coordination agency OCHA, the conference says the funds would be dispersed over two years, with the possibility of extension, in efforts to support life-saving humanitarian interventions in the Palestinian territory.
