Description

On December 31, 2008, in response to a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, Qin Gang, announced that the Chinese Government would provide a $1 million cash grant to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to purchase essential humanitarian supplies. This pledge was formalized as an official commitment on January 2, 2019 when the PNA and the Chinese Government signed an exchange of letters. At the time that this commitment was made, Israel had recently carried out military bombings in Gaza, causing a large number of casualties and property losses.
