Tripoli, Libya (AHN) – The United States on Thursday announced it would release a part of frozen Libyan assets in American institutions for humanitarian aid in the war-torn North African nation.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton disclosed the move during a meeting of NATO and Arab nations that had gathered in Rome to show their support to Libyan rebels. Following the U.S. announcement, the representatives of 22 attending nations also pledged to establish temporary funds to help areas that are under rebels’ control. Qatar immediately vowed to contribute $400 million, while Kuwait pledged $180 million.

French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, meanwhile, said that the new financial mechanism will start within weeks, while his Italian counterpart Franco Frattini said that such an establishment will allow the funds to channel transparently and effectively to the rebels.

Although fund pledges were far below than what rebels hoped, Mahmoud Jibril, a top official in the rebels’ transitional government, hailed the international commitment and described it as a great start.

He added that the pledges came at a time when rebels were perilously short of funds to buy medicine, food, gasoline and to pay government salaries in the areas under their control.

Meanwhile, rebel spokesman Jalal el-Gallal assured that they will not buy weapons with the international financial aid. “The main thing is to make sure that the economy is kept afloat, that the requirements for food and medicine are met, and needs are supplied for the 2 million-plus people in the liberated area,” he said.

“This money will help them in moving the basic services because in the east of Libya they still need to educate people. They also need the fund for public services and they have to meet the expenses of all that and they don’t have much tax revenue at the moment,” British Foreign Secretary William Hague said.

More announcements are expected to be made on Thursday.

During a closed-door session with senior diplomats, Clinton reportedly urged all partners to intensify pressure on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and called for support for the rebels, according to a transcript provided by her staff members.
