The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency said on Wednesday it was seeking $104 million for aid to Gaza, which has been pounded by Israeli reprisal strikes following attacks by Hamas against Israel.
"UNRWA is urgently seeking US$ 104 million to enable its multi-sectoral humanitarian response over the coming 90 days," the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a statement.
"The requested funds will cover the urgent immediate food, non-food, health, shelter and protection needs of up to 250,000 persons seeking safety in UNRWA shelters across the ravaged Gaza Strip and another 250,000 Palestine refugees within the community."
