International aid arrangement targets vulnerable Palestinians
A UN-backed humanitarian aid plan seeks to support 1.8 million Palestinians as a worsening coronavirus pandemic and settlement threat looms.
A new international aid plan targets millions of vulnerable Palestinians, including many facing increased pressure from Israeli settlement expansion and medical shortages in addressing the coronavirus pandemic, according to Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh.
“The most vulnerable Palestinians must be supported, whether they are in Gaza, Jerusalem, Area C or elsewhere,” said Shtayyeh in a statement. “This plan will allow us to link immediate humanitarian aid with sustainable development endeavors and efforts to overcome impediments over the long-term.”
