Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Global Humanitarian Response: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

Mr. Ramesh Rajasingham:

Exactly. We have just issued a response plan for Gaza, which amounts to $1.2 billion, and that is to cover the entire needs of the population of Gaza. There are 2.2 million people in Gaza and they are all vulnerable. In addition, we are seeing an increase in the violence on the West Bank, which is also almost unprecedented. Some of that assistance is to provide support to 500,000 people there.
