Gaza donor conference: Who is pledging what
An international conference to help rebuild the Gaza Strip got underway Monday in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.The Palestinian Authority had hoped to raise $2.78 billion in aid, including $1.33 billion to rebuild the coastal strip after Israel’s three-week military offensive in January. Here are some of the pledges announced ahead of the one-day event.
Britain said it would pledge £30 million ($43 million) to help rebuild Gaza’s economy.
