UAE Pledges $25 Million in Aid to Gaza
2014-07-11
[AnNahar] The United Arab Emirates pledged $25 million in humanitarian aid Thursday to "support the steadfastness" of Paleostinians in Gazoo where Israeli strikes have killed more than 70 people in three days.

The Emirati Red Islamic Thingy will supervise delivery of the aid, WAM state news agency said, adding that the aid organization will also set up a field hospital in Gazoo "to help the victims of the Israeli aggression".
One assumes the stuff will be delivered via the Egyptian crossing point -- which assumes Egyptian permission to do so. But Egypt isn't terribly fond of the people of Gaza these days... We do live in interesting times.
Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on Tuesday, aimed at halting cross-border rocket fire from the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-controled Gazoo Strip.

#3  Egypt will want to wet their beak on that cash. I expect that by the time that $25M makes it to Gaza it'll be $17.58 and a couple subway tokens

#2  Wars don't end until the loser acknowdges his defeat. This war reminds me of the US Civil War, where the South was always destined to lose but fought on in hopes help from Europe would eventually salvage their illusion. Gaza will fight on as long as UAE etc. fund their hopes and Israel tries to act civilized (an impossibility in war; the US Confederacy finally saw the truth when Sherman and Grant quit pretending war was civil.)
