The United Nations will launch a $2.8 billion appeal tomorrow for donations this year to help the war-ravaged population of the Gaza Strip as well as West Bank Palestinians, a senior agency official says.
“Of course, 90 percent of it is for Gaza,” Andrea De Domenico, head of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Palestinian territories, says, noting that the original plan had been $4 billion for 2024, but budgeting was slashed given the “limited ability” of humanitarian aid distribution access.
