KUWAIT CITY (AFP) – Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Monday announced the donation of one billion dollars for the reconstruction of Gaza battered by a deadly Israeli offensive.
"On behalf of the Saudi people, I declare the donation of one billion dollars for programs to rebuild Gaza," the Saudi monarch said at the opening session of an Arab summit in Kuwait.
The Arab leaders are tipped to approve the setting up of a two-billion dollar fund for the reconstruction of Gaza.
Qatar last week suggested the establishment of a fund for Gaza and donated 250 million dollars.
