(Ramallah, West Bank-AP) Sept. 13, 2005 - He says the amount may be small, but it's the thought that counts.
A representative of a Palestinian refugee council Tuesday presented a check for $10,000 to give to Hurricane Katrina's victims. The check is made out to the American Red Cross.
The spokesman says Palestinian refugees donated the money, and that they understand best what hurricane victims are now going through.
US Consul General Jacob Walles accepted the check at a ceremony in the West Bank. He says the gift means a lot, especially because it comes from the poorest Palestinians.
