In line with the EUs commitment to aid Palestinians, the European Commission announced a €120 million package for Gaza. This increases total EU aid to over €450 million since 2023, alongside Air Bridge deliveries of 3,800 tonnes of aid. The EU collaborates with partners to ensure rapid aid distribution.
President Ursula von der Leyen stated: “The ceasefire brings hope, but Gazas situation remains dire. Europe is providing €120 million in 2025 to support Palestinians.”
The aid includes:
- Food assistance for food insecurity
- Healthcare support for medical facilities
- Water and sanitation services
- Shelter for displaced persons
- Protection for vulnerable groups
The EU will coordinate with UN and other partners for prompt aid delivery.
