More than $2 billion in aid was promised to the Gaza Strip on Sunday during an international donor meeting held in Kuwait, more than seven months into the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
The funds will be distributed over the course of two years, with the possibility of extension, in an effort to support life-saving humanitarian interventions in the Palestinian territory, according to the conference, which was organized by the International Islamic Charitable Organization (IICO) and the UN’s humanitarian coordination agency OCHA.
