Aid well up on UN's target of $330m
BBC: International donors have pledged $500m (£262m) of humanitarian aid for the Palestinian territories, well above the UN's target figure of $330m.

The pledge came at a conference in Sweden after UN aid chief Jan Egeland called Gaza a "ticking time bomb".

Palestinians have been living on restricted aid since Hamas's election victory, and until now the UN had struggled to reach its target. Donors pledge Palestinians $500m

Yes, Mussolini, that amount of money should buy them a good few!

I agree with you both. Most, if not all, of the money will go to fund suicide bombers. When will decent people wise up and stop funding the destruction of human civilization? I, for one, do not want to be taken back a thousand years only to have unenlightened, hateful clergy tell me what to do.
