U.S. Announces $336 Million Humanitarian Aid for Gaza and West Bank

The United States is set to announce nearly $336 million in additional humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, aiding in food, healthcare, and emergency shelter. This effort, reported by Reuters, aims to address the dire humanitarian crisis due to ongoing conflict.

The United States will announce on Monday nearly $336 million in additional humanitarian assistance for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, as revealed by a U.S. Agency for International Development statement obtained by Reuters.

This funding will enable USAID partners to continue providing critical aid, including food assistance, healthcare, nutrition, and other essential services. Additionally, the funds will support emergency shelter for displaced Gazans ahead of winter, according to the statement.

'Over the last year, this conflict has claimed the lives of many innocent Palestinians and Israelis, leaving Gaza and the West Bank in a state of profound humanitarian crisis,' the statement read. 'The U.S. urges all parties to agree to a ceasefire and the immediate release of hostages to facilitate the scaling up of aid across Gaza.'
