The $100 million for humanitarian assistance in Gaza and West Bank “will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians”, the US President said.

“This money will support over 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians.
“And we will have mechanisms in place so this aid reaches those in need – not Hamas or terrorist groups.”
