Shehab Wire reported that operating costs for Gaza's management committee in Cairo consumed approximately $4 million over eight months, according to recent economic estimates. The expenditures covered salaries, accommodation, and other expenses for committee members stationed in the Egyptian capital during the period.
The spending drew attention from economists tracking how relief and reconstruction funds allocated for Gaza flow through administrative channels. Committee members based in Cairo incurred costs across multiple budget categories before resources reached the territory itself. The $4 million figure represents a substantial portion of aid allocated during the eight-month span, raising questions about the distribution of humanitarian assistance intended for rebuilding efforts in Gaza.
