is all it would take to make a huge difference in their lives, as would even $2 or $5 Billion.

Not suggesting we pay that to individuals, but that it wouldn’t take a big amount to make a difference. Obviously, there are millions/billions more who need help beyond the 2 Million in Gaza. More a long term approach, than helpful short term.
