Ramallah-based Al-Ayyam said that Doha has until now transferred $24 million in aid, not $30 million as was previously reported. Of the funds received, $10 million is said to have been used for Gaza's main power plant, another $10 million for families in need, and $4 million as salaries to Gazan officials who are not paid by the Palestinian Authority.
A source told Al-Ayyam that talks will revolve around increasing the monthly aid to $30 million. The demands were also discussed in high-level talks, including between Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
Al-Emadi is also the head of Qatar's Gaza Reconstruction Committee.
