The United Nations has made an unprecedented appeal for funds to help alleviate the deepening humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories.

The UN is asking donors for $385m (£205m) - an increase of 80% on the budget earmarked for 2006.

In fact, a few Muslim leaders from Bombay went even further threatening violent demonstrations if the movie was released.[/b]
