Qatar pledges to continue paying Gazan poor for six months
2019-05-15
[IsraelTimes] Envoy Mohammed al-Emadi says if recent escalation between Israel and terror groups had continued for a few more hours, the world would have ’witnessed humanitarian catastrophes’.

Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
will continue to provide small grants to impoverished Paleostinian families in the Gazoo Strip over the coming six months, a Qatari diplomat said Tuesday evening.

In the past nine months, Doha has made $100 payouts to needy families in the coastal enclave on a number of occasions.

The Qatari envoy said the funds for the needy families will come from the $180 million the Gulf state pledged to send to the Strip last week, which he said "will directly serve Gazoo." However,

he did not say how frequently Doha intends to provide small grants to impoverished families in the next six months or how large they would be.

Over the past two days, under the supervision of the Qatari Gazoo Reconstruction Committee, postal banks in the Strip have handed out $100 bills to tens of thousands of poor families.

Emadi suggested that Doha does not intend to cover the salaries of the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede,-appointed civil servants in the coming days.

"We will discuss these salaries later on," he said, adding that he thinks Hamas authorities will not "have a problem covering the salaries" themselves after Qatar pays out the funds it has pledged to do so for fuel and other humanitarian projects.

In late 2018, Qatar paid out $10 million on two occasions to cover the salaries of most of the Hamas-appointed civil servants. Israel’s government was harshly criticized at home for allowing the money to go to Hamas.

POWER AND A FIELD HOSPITAL
The Qatari diplomat said that Doha would also use the $180 million it allocated to Gazoo to continue to pay for fuel to power the Strip’s sole power plant until the end of 2019.

Since October 2018, Israel has also allowed for Qatari-purchased fuel to enter Gazoo to run the power plant, significantly increasing the hours of electricity many Paleostinian families in the territory receive daily.

Emadi said Qatar would also put aside $50-60 million of the $180 million to support a 161 kilo-volt power line, which the Quartet ‐ the US, Russia, UN and EU ‐ has said could eventually provide an additional 100 megawatt hours of electricity to Gazoo.

Gazoo currently receives some 190 megawatt hours of power, even though its average demand ranges between 500-550 megawatt hours.

Part of the 161 kV power infrastructure has been built, but significant work needs to be completed before the Israel Electric Corporation can start to feed electricity through it from the Jewish state to Gazoo, Mohammed Thabet, a front man for the Gazoo Electric Distribution Company, said in a phone call.

The Qatari envoy added that the funds Qatar pledged to send to Gazoo last week would also support United Nations

-supervised cash-for-work programs.

A number of Paleostinians in Gazoo recently started temporary jobs as a part of the cash-for-work programs.

Emadi noted that Qatar, in coordination with what he called "the American institution for humanitarianism," would start work on building a field hospital on 40 dunams (10 acres) in northern Gaz

#1  Good news the US does not need to pay any more money to Gaza as Qatar is paying it.
