European Union supports
Palestinian public service providers with a further 21
million Euros
The Temporary International Mechanism (TIM) is to
disburse a further 21 million Euros in financial support
to Palestinian civilian public service providers between
3 and 7 June 2007. More than 77,000 beneficiaries will
receive NIS 1,500 directly into their bank accounts.
The TIM allowances aim to support the Palestinian
population in the context of the current socio-economic
crisis. This payment is made with contributions from the
United Kingdom and the European Commission, in
coordination with the Palestinian Ministry of Finance.
In total, more than one million Palestinians benefit
from the social allowances paid by the Temporary
International Mechanism.
Since July 2006, more than 300 million Euros have been
made available through the TIM. |
