Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius has donated 800 million SEK ($76 million) to support children in the Gaza Strip, matching a 400 million SEK allocation from the Swedish government.

This brings the total aid package to 1.2 billion SEK ($114 million), to be distributed through UNICEF. The funds are specifically designated for a five-year program focused on re-establishing education and child protection.

The initiative aims to fund the operations of 400 schools, covering teacher salaries, meals, and supplies, while providing essential psychological support, clean water, and vaccinations for traumatized children.

NEW | Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius pledges 800 million Swedish kronor (around $75 million) to support the construction of schools in Gaza, in what is considered one of the largest personal donations to the Strip.

The contribution, expected to be implemented through UNICEF, could help build nearly 400 schools amid the ongoing destruction of Gaza’s education sector.

Akelius, known for his outspoken support for Palestinians, has previously condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza as “horrific” and voiced strong criticism of its policies, while also making earlier donations to humanitarian efforts in the besieged enclave.
