Pompeo says more aid could go to Palestinians

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo indicates a $5 million grant to the Palestinians to help them deal with the coronavirus could be followed by more help, but expresses concern about aid reaching where it is needed.

“We’ll evaluate if those $5 million both worked, delivered and second if there’s more resources that are both either appropriate or can be delivered in a way that actually gets to the Palestinian people,” he says.

He says he thinks the Palestinians “are gonna need a lot of help” getting through the health crisis.
