Gulf state reveals funding plan after ceasefire ends latest Israeli-Palestinian hostilities
Qatar has said it is sending $480m (£370m) to Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip after a ceasefire deal ended the deadliest fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants since 2014.
Qatar’s foreign ministry said $300m would go towards supporting health and education programmes of the Palestinian Authority, while $180m would go toward electricity and urgent humanitarian relief via UN programmes.
