Actually 282m SEK 2014 or about 30m € in total aid to the Palestinian territories: http://www.sida.se/English/press/current-topics-archive/2014... So you're off by a factor of 10 but it's still a lot.



Sweden donated 1.37 billion SEK 2007. That makes approx 200 million Euro. My bad for assuming it had continue to be that large, I assumed because recent recognition.

That's for the whole of Palestine while you implied it was all for Gaza. 1.37 billion SEK = 143 million EUR which you can check for yourself in two seconds using the google query "1.37 billion SEK in EUR" so there is no excuse for giving a wrong number. This for the period 2007-2008 so two years not one. I think it's classified as "emergency relief" (there was a war going on), the running year-to-year aid is much lower.
