U.S. Shows Gaza the Money

The Obama administration has authorized $20 million in emergency aid for relief missions in the Gaza Strip following the Israeli offensive that killed nearly 1,300 Palestinians and caused $2 billion in damage. The support comes after the United Nations asked for $613 million for the area hard-hit by the three-week conflict. The funds will be directed to food, medical care, shelter and other infrastructure advancements.
