The United States plans to pledge more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza following the three-week Israeli invasion that left the region decimated.
As part of the planned pledge the money is expected to be directed to the United Nations and other distributing outlets but will not be available to Hamas, the militant Islamic group that rules Gaza. The money is expected to be used to further strengthen the Palestinian Authority, a Western-backed ally headed by President Mahmoud Abbas.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to make the announcement next week following a conference she is to attend in Cairo concerning the rebuilding of Gaza.
More than 1,300 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli invasion while more than 50,000 were left homeless as buildings, schools and hospitals were destroyed in numerous airstrikes and ground assaults.
