The European Union distributed 41 million Shekels (7.4 million Euro) as part of the sixth installment of aid for Families in extreme financial hardship. At least 40,000 of the neediest families will receive financial assistance of 1,000 NIS each, a raise of 15%.

Impoverished Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza are expected to benefit from a further installment of financial allocations from the EU-led Temporary International Mechanism on 12 December 2007, in conjunction with the ministries of Financial and Social Affairs.   

 

The beneficiaries will include families which suffer extreme financial hardship, those dependent on Women and those which look after elderly people or have family members with special needs.  

 

Since June 2006, the EU-led temporary mechanism distributed 2.3 Billion NIS in financial aid from its social allocations to Palestinian families.
