Quds News NetworkNEW | 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.
