The European Commission on Friday announced an extra 100 million euros in aid for water, sanitation, and refugees in the Occupied Palestinian territories.
There will also be an extra package of support to Palestinians living in the so-called Area C, which is under direct Israeli authority but where it is currently almost impossible for Palestinians and international donors to obtain building permits.
After the Israeli demolition there of community buildings and infrastructure such as rainwater cisterns, the EU's new funding will provide training to build new infrastructure.
