Reuters reported in April that the board had only received a small fraction of the $17 billion pledged by members for Gaza, preventing the president from moving ahead with his plan. The board denied that report, saying in a statement it was an "execution-focused organisation that calls capital as needed" and that there "are no funding constraints." APPEAL FOR QUICKER DISBURSEMENT In a May 15 report to the United Nations Security Council, viewed by Reuters on Tuesday, the board said that "the gap between commitment (to the Board of Peace) and disbursement must be closed with urgency".
