UN asks donor countries to raise 462 million US dollars for Palestine
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.
