EU steps up humanitarian assistance for Palestinians

The EU's immediate response to the crisis has led to an additional €68 million in humanitarian aid, which will be channelled through partner organisations already on the ground, providing desperately needed food assistance, health, water and sanitation, and shelter support. This brings the total EU humanitarian assistance to €193 million for Palestinians in need inside Gaza and across the region in 2024.

Furthermore, the EU Humanitarian Air Bridge operation in aid of people in Gaza continues to transport vital supplies provided by humanitarian partners and EU Member States. The latest flight will deliver emergency supplies today, and two additional flights are scheduled for the first week of May.

The EU has funded two convoys transporting over 130 tonnes of shelter, health, water and sanitation supplies donated by Ireland and humanitarian partners. These items, deployed from Dubai, are being transported to Gaza in coordination with the Global Logistics Cluster via Jordan. The Commission constantly monitors the situation and stands ready to provide further assistance.
