Qatari envoy to Gaza, Mohammed Al-Emadi, who heads the efforts to rehabilitate the Hamas-controlled coastal enclave, confirmed on Thursday that another monthly cash installment to help needy families would be delivered on Saturday. Altogether $10 million will be delivered.
Al-Emadi said in an official statement that the funds would be distributed via post offices throughout Gaza to some 100,000 families, with each family receiving $100. The distribution process is expected to continue until next Wednesday, July 29.

Qatar has approved the delivery of $150 million to Gaza throughout 2020, primarily earmarked for humanitarian initiatives and families in need. Since 2012, Qatar has transferred upwards of one billion dollars to Gaza for various purposes.
Qatar often serves as a mediator between Israel and Hamas. The energy-rich Gulf state also has overseen large reconstruction projects in the war-battered territory.
