The Gaza Strip, where a conflict between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas left about 175 people dead this month, will receive a grant from the World Bank to help improve the region’s water and sewage conditions.
The $6.4 million World Bank grant in one of the most crowded areas where there’s a “critical deterioration of the Gaza water system” will be augmented by $11.1 million in financing from the Islamic Development Bank, the Washington, D.C.-based organization said in a statement.
