US announces new aid for Gaza, West Bank
15 November 2024 20:40 GMT
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) announced on Friday the provision of $230m for "recovery and development programs" in the West Bank and Gaza.
The press release noted that this follows the $2.1bn in humanitarian assistance provided since 7 October 2023 when the war on Gaza broke out.
The new funding, it added, is intended to "further reduce the influence of Hamas".
The statement was made public on Friday but appears to be mistakenly dated 17 November 2024.
