3$ a day from humanitarian organizations, 3$ a day from donors per citizen.
How much do they get in Darfur per day from humanitarian organizations?
rather than compare the subsidies to the gazans with the subsidies received by the sudanese, let's instead look at a more direct comparison, the American subsidies to the 7.3 million israelis
The Costs to American Taxpayers of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: $3 Trillion
$3 000 000 000 000 cumulative aid to israel / 7 308 800 israelis = $410 464 per israeli courtesy of the American taxpayer
caveats: that financial data is seven years old (which fact causes this to be a conservative per capita amount as the old amount was divided by the current population). additionally, the gazan data is annualized while the aid to israel is since WWII. that $1110 annually to each gazan would translate to $7330 annually per israeli for the 56 year period (1947- 2003) of the above study by Thomas Stauffer
so, since you find the aid to the gazans excessive when compared to those who reside in darfur, do you similarly find the aid given to israel's as excessive when recognizing that it is seven times (7X) that received by the gazans ... a people who are under seige and cannot engage in free trade to provide for themselves
