The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees has requested nearly 16 million dollars from the international community to continue assistance for Palestinians displaced in the Gaza Strip. The agency states that this funding is necessary for the immediate housing of hundreds of Palestinian families who became homeless during the recent Israeli assault on the settlement and the Fatah refugee camp, as well as for providing food for them. The head of the agency noted that Rafah has always been poor, but now it is a wreck. Last month, during a week-long Israeli assault, over 40 Palestinians lost their lives and dozens became homeless.
