Where do the billions of dollars in foreign aid to Gaza really go?
2021-12-22
[IsraelTimes] From 2014 to 2020, UN agencies spent close to $4.5 billion in Gazoo, including $600 million in 2020 alone.

The international community has sent billions of dollars in aid to the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip in recent years to provide relief to the more than 2 million Paleostinians living in the isolated, Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,-ruled territory.

The aid is intended to ease the burden on civilians of the Egyptian and Israeli blockade imposed on Gaza when Hamas seized power of the Strip in 2007. Israel closely supervises aid to try to ensure it bypasses Hamas. But the Hamas-run government benefits from foreign countries footing the bill for schools, hospitals and infrastructure, allowing it to conserve its own resources, including the taxes and customs it collects.

Here’s a look at the main forms of international aid to Gaza:

— From 2014-2020, UN agencies spent nearly $4.5 billion in Gaza, including $600 million in 2020 alone. More than 80% of that funding is channeled through the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, who make up three-fourths of Gaza’s population. Some 280,000 children in Gaza attend schools run by UNRWA, which also provides health services and food aid.

Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
has provided $1.3 billion in aid to Gaza since 2012 for construction, health services and agriculture. That includes $360 million pledged in January for 2021 and another $500 million pledged for reconstruction after the war in May. Qatar’s aid also goes to needy families and to help pay Hamas government salaries.

— The Paleostinian Authority says it will spend $1.7 billion on Gaza this year, mainly on salaries for tens of thousands of civil servants who stopped working when Hamas took over in 2007.

— Egypt pledged $500 million in aid after the May war, but it’s unclear how much has materialized. It sent construction crews to clear rubble over the summer.

— Germany and other European countries will spend nearly 70 million euros ($80 million) on water projects in Gaza this year, in addition to their contributions to UNRWA.

— The US has spent at least $5.5 million in Gaza this year on cash assistance and health care, in addition to contributing $90 million to UNRWA operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

— Israel is granting work permits to 10,000 Gazooks who undergo security vetting, providing a crucial source of income for families with no known connection to Hamas.

#6  I say NOT! sounds so much better with a mouth full of kool-whip. Maybe tuck your thumbs into some shirt folds. Monocal optional but recommended.

#5  As for his criticism, all he need do is check the websites or do a google search using key words — those donating to the Gaza Strip trumpet their pledges as a demonstration of virtue. It shouldn't take more than twenty minutes of minor effort to confirm or disprove the claims made in the article, if he really wants to know rather than just whine about how awful Rantburg is.

#4  I would sympathize with the razor king, who is clearly suffering greatly, but we’ve always been very clear here which side we’re on.
