The United Nations issues an emergency appeal for $294 million to address “the most urgent needs” in Gaza and the West Bank.
The funds would be used to help more than 1.2 million people, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says, stressing that aid groups do not have “the resources required to adequately respond to the full range of needs of vulnerable Palestinians.”
