Sweden to send emergency aid to Gaza

STOCKHOLM: Sweden said Monday it would send more than a million dollars in extra emergency aid to Palestinians in Gaza to help deal with the humanitarian impact of Israel's massive offensive there.


"The situation for the Gaza population is becoming ever more difficult," said the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), a government agency that reports to the foreign ministry.

"As a first step, Sida will send an additional 10 million kronor (1.3 million dollars) to a UN-administered local fund for humanitarian aid," it said in a statement.
