International envoys pledged about $5.4 billion in aid for the Gaza Strip at a meeting in Egypt on Sunday, Norway's foreign minister said.
"The participants pledged approximately $5.4 billion (4.3 billion euros)," said Boerge Brende, reading out a closing statement at the Cairo conference which Norway co-hosted.
Half of the pledges will go for reconstruction and the rest as unspecified aid to the Palestinians, he said.
The donors "committed themselves to start disbursing their assistance as soon as possible," Brende said.
The conference aimed at financing the reconstruction of swathes of Gaza destroyed in a July-August war between Israel and Hamas.
Gas-rich Qatar led the way at the donors conference in Cairo with a promise of $1 billion in aid to the coastal enclave.
The Palestinians asked for up to $4 billion in international aid after Gaza suffered heavy damage in its 50-day summer war with Israel.
The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait also pledged $200 million each.
The international community insisted that Hamas's Gaza is in a "humanitarian crisis," in the conference of more than 50 international and corporate representatives in Cairo on Sunday.

Absolute evil craziness, but then what else expected.
Fresh Israeli targets. You build ‘em we’ll knock ‘em down. Again.
They need to rebuild their tunnels.
Why, look! There is a pattern to your posting habits!

That’s so awesome. What is the reason for it?

That’s so awesome. What is the reason for it?
Who cares?!
The Lord God will destroy all those who help the enemies of Israel.
Whatever it might be, it sure ain't about promoting my religion as better than someone else's is it.
Why is a reason needed ?
$5.4 billion can buy a lot of reinforced concrete tunneling.
These people decimated Gaza when it was given to them. I hate to see anyone give them a damn dime. It just teaches them there is no consequence to their terror and misbehavior.
Well, when someone runs around denying Jesus I kind of get curious about why.
$5.4 billion for 1.8 million people.
That’s exactly $3k a head. Even IF it could be guaranteed that the money would not be put to use against Israel, that’s a lot of money for what we know will not result in any lasting improvement in the lives of the people.
The civilized world would put that money to much better use at home.
Why am I thinking of the movie “Groundhog Day?”
Yeah, most Jews and atheist do that...
I thought this was a conservative forum without a litmus test for religious belief...
Do you treat the atheist members with the same curiosity ?
When Muslims riot in Europe, let us tell them to offer land for peace.
Trying not to feel hatred for an entire continent.
If they consistently posted from atheist sites I sure would.
Point 'em out. Go after 'em your own self if they bother you.
Just strikes me odd when someone posts solely from a non-Christian foreign site.
Non-Christian foreigners rank pretty high with you?
Fact is.. as I've demonstrated.. the articles are monolithic in source. This indicates motive. Non-Christian motive, in this case.
Nice try... But I’m not going for your pathetic baiting....
A member history or background is meaningless to me, what they post either interest me and I will comment or pass....
I try to KISS.... And not pretend everyone’s motivation is nefarious ..sometimes it obvious and I pass....
