Abbas: Aggression against Gaza are intolerable, we are working to reach calm
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke at the beginning of the conference Sunday and urged the participant nations to donate to Gaza.
"Gaza needs $4 billion for rehabilitation and we are certain there is the international and regional will to do so. The Strip needs significant resources to return to normal."
Abbas noted that in the last three operations in Gaza – Operation Protective Edge, Operation Pillar of Defense and Operation Cast Lead – over 80,000 structures have been destroyed in Gaza.
"The aggression against Gaza are intolerable, we are all for calm and are working with the Egyptians," Abbas said.
