PARIS (Reuters) – France will host an international humanitarian conference for the civilian population in Gaza on Nov. 9, three diplomatic sources said.
The conference, which will be at head of state, government and foreign minister level, will cover issues from mobilising funds, providing emergency assistance, re-establishing supply of water, fuel and electricity as well as assisting people wounded in Gaza through the possible use of maritime corridors, two diplomats said.
The Palestinian Authority would be present, but Israel was not set to be invited, the diplomats said.
France’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to request for comment.
