The Swiss government says it plans to “carry out a fresh, in-depth analysis of all financial flows” and assess the “relevance and feasibility of programmes.” Earlier this month, European governments suspended more than $150 million in development aid, as Israel cut access to food, water, electricity, fuel, and medicines to more than 2.2 million people in Gaza, an act of collective punishment, which is a war crime under international humanitarian law.

I've read the article, and I just want to ask whether there are any resources on how much aid goes to the either side of the conflict. Because I was surprised that many countries in the EU still contribute bilaterally.
