US announces $336 million in humanitarian assistance to support Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank

The United States announced nearly $336 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza and the West Bank affected by the ongoing conflict.

This additional funding will enable USAID partners to continue providing life-saving humanitarian aid, including vital food assistance, expanded support in emergency health care, nutrition, psychosocial services, and increased access to safe drinking water, hygiene products, and sanitation services.

This funding will also support emergency shelter assistance to displaced Gazans to help them prepare for the upcoming winter months, according to a USAID statement.

Today’s funding brings the total US humanitarian assistance announced for the Palestinian people to over $1 billion since October 2023.
