(Jerusalem Times/IMRA) - Majdi Khalidi, assistant deputy in the PA Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, told Al-Ayyam that donor countries have met only 15% of the amount they promised in aid to the Palestinian people in their May meeting.

Average monthly Arab and European aid since May amounted to $30 million, while aid between October 2000 and March 2001 amounted to $50 million every month.
