Australian manufactured or produced goods only in foreign aid !

Australian money may not be needed. The UAE is talking about funding the whole reconstruction, provided some way can be found to keep Hamas's grubby fingers off the funds.

Australia may be an island but it considers itself
part of the international community. Others have come
to Australia's aid in times of its crisis - whether
it was during bush-fires, drought, or floods.

Australia has always also helped others out.

Regarding Gaza?

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade says " It is
committed in humanitarian assistance to support civilians
impacted by the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, and to
respond to the refugee crisis in the region".

"Much work will be required to address the immediate
humanitarian situation and significant challenges remain.
These include damage to infrastructure like roads, (hospitals,
aid). the presence of unexploded ordiance and the mass
movement of internally displaced people".

"The focus is on the needs of women and children".

We're told that "Australia will continue to act in
partnership with the international community to help meet
urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza".

How can it not - when it takes aid from others as the need
arises?
