Islamic
Development Bank Grants $ 50 Million to Palestine
The
Islamic Development bank (IDB) is to grant the Palestinian
treasury $50 million. IDB has already transferred
$10 million.
The bank had given the Palestinians $ 45 million in
September, part of the Arab support for the Intifada.
The
IDB runs two Arab funds of $ 1 billion for Palestinian
support. The funds were created in October 2000 at
the Cairo Arab summit.
