EU will allocate 5 billion dollars to "humanitarian and reconstruction initiatives" in Gaza
The United States plans to announce over 5 billion dollars in funding for humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in Gaza during the first meeting of a newly formed global Peace Board.
U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed plans for a global initiative aimed at addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by allocating over 5 billion dollars to support humanitarian and reconstruction efforts. The announcement is set to be made at the inaugural meeting of the Peace Board he established to tackle global conflicts, scheduled for next week at the recently renamed Donald J. Trump Peace Institute in Washington, D.C. Trump emphasized the urgency of the support, reflecting on the devastation that Gaza has experienced in recent times.
In his statement on Truth Social, Trump indicated that the funding will come from members of the Peace Board, which has pledged to commit significant resources towards alleviating the conditions in Gaza. He highlighted that this initiative would not only focus on financial aid but also on mobilizing thousands of people to support international efforts in the region. The upcoming meeting is viewed as crucial for setting the tone of international collaboration in humanitarian efforts and rebuilding processes in Gaza.
This initiative underscores the increasing global attention towards Gaza's plight as reconstruction efforts become imperative in the wake of ongoing conflicts. Trump's leadership of the Peace Board may indicate a shift in how the U.S. approaches international humanitarian aid, taking a more personal role under his administration, thus highlighting the political dimensions involved in providing aid to conflicted regions.
