UN asks donor countries to raise 462 million US dollars for Palestine
2007-12-12
Must be that time of week again...
Bethlehem – Ma'an – The United Nations asked donor countries to raise 462 million US dollars to cover the humanitarian™ needs in the Palestinian territories for the year 2008.
...and, in return, we will, of course, receive their undying love.
A statement released by more than 40 UN-affiliated organizations and NGOs working in Gaza Strip and the West Bank said that there was an increase in the death rate in the Palestinian territories in 2007 as a result of both the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the inter-Palestinian conflict.
...and that'll stop as soon as they get all this money, right?
Organizations also said that the poverty rate in the occupied territories reached 57%, and that 34% of the population suffers from malnutrition.
Let 'em eat rockets.
