The United States has pledged $20.3 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza. The money will be allocated by the United Nations and Red Cross offices in the area, and is meant to be used for food, medicine and temporary shelter for those left homeless during the Cast Lead operation.
The U.N. recently asked for $613 million to help reconstruct Gaza, which is lead by the Hamas terrorist group. Hamas says it needs approximately $2 billion to repair damage caused by fighting.
