EU Raises $559 Million to Improve Gaza Drinking Water
(Ha'aretz) Noa Landau - Countries and agencies meeting at a conference hosted by the EU in Brussels on Tuesday agreed to provide 456 million euros ($559 million) to the Palestinians to improve Gaza's drinking water. This represents 80% of the funds needed to construct a large desalinization facility to run on solar energy, as well as for refurbishment of pipelines and water storage facilities. Israel supported the decision. Sewage from Gaza flowing into the Mediterranean reaches the Israeli coast.
