Donors agree $242m for Palestinians
25/6/08
International donors at a conference on the Middle East in Berlin have committed $242m for security projects that they hope will help in creating a viable Palestinian state. The money will be passed to the Palestinian Authority (PA) over the next three years to be spent on security measures such as more police stations and courthouses. The conference is being attended by more than 40 government delegation, including the Middle East Quartet of the US, the UN, the EU and Russia. The money comes out of $7.4bn already pledged by donors in Paris in December, a month after peace efforts in the area were relaunched in Annapolis in the US.
