PA seeks $2.8 Billion For Gaza Rebuilding
2009-02-26
Hey, look at that. The price has gone up. Again...
Palestine Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said Wednesday that the Palestine Authority in the West Bank is hoping to raise $2.8 billion in foreign aid at next month's international donor conference for rebuilding the Gaza Strip, which was devastated by a 22-day Israeli offensive in December.
I'm hoping to hit Mega Millions this weekend...
"We have prepared a document on the basis of which donors will make their aid pledges. It foresees a total of 2.8 billion dollars for all sectors," Fayyad told reporters in Ramallah, the political capital of the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
So line up. And bring those checkbooks...INFIDELS!
"This document was prepared by the Palestinian Authority with the participation of all concerned parties and contains, in addition to the required aid, mechanisms that will allow donors to start reconstruction," he added.
Ah, yes. The "mechanisms". Is that's what they're calling it now?
Representatives from more than 70 countries are expected to attend the international donor conference for Gaza rebuilding in Egypt on 2nd March. The United States is expected to pledge about $900 million for rebuilding Gaza.
So...what's in it for us again?
I'll wait...

#7  I know the global downturn is really bad when these pukes can't be funded anymore.

Maybe there is an upside to a depression.
