Gaza, MINA – A sum of USD 1.7 million, part of the USD 200 million Kuwaiti donation aimed at the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, was delivered to the authorities, KUNA reported, citing the Palestinian government Wednesday.

Palestinian Minister of Public Works and Housing Mufeed Hasayneh said that the new batch would be used to reconstruct Gaza’s industrial facilities.

Hasayneh thanked Kuwait for this generous donation, which reflected the strong ties linking Palestinians and Kuwaitis.

In November of 2014, Kuwait pledged USD 200 million as part the USD 5.4 billion donation made at Cairo’s donors conference for the Gaza Strip. (T/RS5/RS1)
