The United States said Thursday it is giving $15 million to vulnerable Palestinian communities in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic, a sharp reversal from the Trump administration which cut off almost all aid to the Palestinians.
U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield made the announcement at the U.N. Security Council’s monthly Mideast meeting, saying the money from the U.S. Agency for International Development will support Catholic Relief Services’ “COVID-19 response efforts in health care facilities and for vulnerable families in the West Bank and Gaza.”
In addition, she said, the funds will support emergency food aid to communities in need as a result of the pandemic.
“This urgent, necessary aid is one piece of our renewed commitment to the Palestinian people,” Thomas-Greenfield said. “The aid will help Palestinians in dire need, which will bring more stability and security to both Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
Our damn corrupt Govt needs to be put in check !!!! Waisting OUR fkking Taxpayer $$$$$ like No end to it !!!!
Today it is People BY the Govt NOT Govt BY the People !!!!! Something has to be done about it !!!!
The US can’t afford to be the benevolent money fairy for the rest of the world…
So, how much goes to so called administrative cost, and how much to her pocket, compared to the amount that actually goes to help the people. Minimal I am sure, as our own people go with out the help needed. Must be a democratic issue.
And not one person is going to do anything about it except run their mouths under “Anonymous.” F’n Cowards! Won’t even bitch about it on their FB pages because they are all PU$$IES!
