HELSINKI, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Norway's government said on Thursday it will give an additional 125 million Norwegian crowns ($13.17 million) in aid to the occupied Palestinian territories through the United Nations and the World Bank, including public sector budget support.
• Norway recognised a Palestinian state in 2024 and chairs the international donor group for the Palestinians.
• Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said in a statement the need for international support was "greater than ever".
